Interview with towake
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I'm currently working on a Liveact: drummer with modular synthesizer improvisation
Q: Analog or digital and why?
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.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: Prohpet 5, Analog Rytm MKII, Mpc Live 2, Interface, Notebook
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
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.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Retro 80's Pop
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Synthpop and Hip hop
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Tweaking and processing a sound for example a synthpatch until it fits the record.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Punchy drums and fat synths.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
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.
