Interview with towake

  1. Q: What are you working on at the moment?

  2. A: I'm currently working on a Liveact: drummer with modular synthesizer improvisation

  3. Q: Analog or digital and why?

  4. A: Definitely both. By combining analog with digital sounds you get best of both worlds. The analog warmth and fatness with the sharpness and accuracy of digital sounds awesome to me.

  5. Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

  6. A: Prohpet 5, Analog Rytm MKII, Mpc Live 2, Interface, Notebook

  7. Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

  8. A: I come from a guitarist background playing in metal bands and recording my own backing tracks for practising. Then my girlfriend at that time made a big mistake and gave me my first synthesizer as a present. And yes that relationship didn't last that long because I got so into music from that day on... Anyways I collected more and more synthesizers, drummachines and learned how to produce and mix over time.

  9. Q: How would you describe your style?

  10. A: Retro 80's Pop

  11. Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

  12. A: Synthpop and Hip hop

  13. Q: What's your strongest skill?

  14. A: Tweaking and processing a sound for example a synthpatch until it fits the record.

  15. Q: What do you bring to a song?

  16. A: Punchy drums and fat synths.

  17. Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

  18. A: I work in a hybrid fashion with my DAW as centerpiece. Drummachines, samplers, synths, mics and FX are all routed through the midas venice 320 preamps/eq's to the DAW via a 32 channel Motu Interface. My monitoring system consists of a pair of Genelec 8330A, Auratone 5c's, Neumann NDH20 and Beyerdynamic DT150 through a SPL 2Control.
