FiXT Remix

I began making music in 1989 with a drum machine, a casio synth, two tape decks and a cheap mixer that a friend of mine lent me. It was crude, and the sound was terrible. Soon I got an electric guitar, a 4-track and later a PC based midi setup. I took each technology to the limits of my talent, and always found the results lacking. My instrumental music at that time was interesting, for sure, but it wasn't mainstream and I didn't pursue or expect it to find an audience. Building on a love of metal, punk, classical, and dance music, I began to develop the musical idea that would become Tribrix and even began the painstaking work of building the first tracks in that style. But I got frustrated with myriad difficulties in realizing my intentions and the project lay dormant for a few years. In 2005, I took it back up. By then, technological advances had streamlined the process of recording, and the first demo of TechNoel, a Rocktronica Christmas album, was completed in a few months. It was a personal project, an album I made purely because I wanted to listen to it. Once the demo was complete, though, it seemed silly not to share it with others so I passed a few copies out to friends. They played it at Christmas parties that year and word came back that people really liked what they heard. It never occurred to me I'd be making a career of my love of music, but thinking about all that's happened since I first began my little analog sound experiments. But I think I bring a fanboy's perspective to the music- making process, which isn't such a common thing, at least, I don't think so.

My name is Justin Spaulding. I am twenty two years old. My love for music started very young. Music is a huge part of who I am and what I do. When I was nine years old I began piano lessons, guitar lessons at fifteen, and I started playing around with drums at sixteen. I now utilize all of these instruments along with various sequencing programs to write and produce many different styles of music. I hope to one day own a studio and be involved with many audio production projects such as film or video game scoring. http://www.myspace.com/boxstacker

I would write an in-depth bio about my vast musical experience and my ability to captivate thousands of fans with my musicianship and emotional depth, but none of that is true (especially not the part about emotional depth). I'm just a guy with a laptop and a guitar trying to figure out the whole "music" thing. Maybe someday the aforementioned musicianship and fans will come (probably not the emotional depth), but for now I'm just going to keep finding ways to make each mix better than the last. I'm a dude. And I'm from farther south than you.
