It seems to me that I was always interested in music. When I was younger my brother used to frequently listen to music in his room, loudly, so I grew up with Nirvana, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Metallica, Prodigy and many other great music from 90’s.
Few years later I went to a music school and on 6-year journey I’ve learned to play clarinet as well as learned something about music theory. I’ve never learned to sing and you won’t ever hear me singing, that’s the best outcome for everyone.
Definitive moment when I’ve realized I want to play music happened one Sunday night while in high school. Instead of going to sleep in my bed, I’ve turned on Twitch.tv and saw Bakermat performing live at full Amsterdam Arena. I watched the whole show, couldn’t go to sleep for next two hours and was pretty tired going to school.
In 2017 I got my first DJ controller, Pioneer SB2. In 2019 I bought Denon MC7000 which I use today.
During the years I’ve hand-picked more than 1000 songs that contribute to more than 100 hours of music and more than 220GB of storage space.
I did some shows on twitch.tv, but it has been put on hold as I don’t have resources to make it the best stream possible, and I’m not willing to compromise for lower quality.
For technical part – I set everything myself. For visualizations I use Milkdrop Tryptonaut pack for Winamp which is then (automatically) recorded to h264 using OBS and RPA. The recorded files are then played live. My plans include getting a green screen, using a Scene Switcher plugin inside OBS, mixing visualizations live using software similar to Resolume Arena.
My goal is to create whole audiovisual experience where you can “feel” the music and forms it creates.
