Hello, I’m a producer, artist, and composer from Gävle, Sweden. I make music beneath a number of aliases, with my fundamental focus being Moist, the place I create electronica and pop, in addition to quite a few remixes. Beneath the title Árstraumur, I discover digital instrumental music, from ambient to downbeat. I began enjoying drums once I was 4 and have been lively as a musician because the Nineteen Eighties. At this time, I work full-time with music and my label, I/O Music, which I’ve had since 2011.
What’s the one piece of drugs you couldn’t stay with out?
I may stay with out most gear besides my laptop. Through the years I’ve shifted increasingly into working “within the field” and that’s actually helped me get extra music completed. However I do love gear, so I feel I’ll all the time maintain my little Casio VL-Tone shut by.
What’s the weirdest or most surprising factor in your studio proper now?
Most likely the Mute Synth 1. An odd little touch-and-tilt synth created by Soiled Electronics along with Mute Data. It’s even formed just like the Mute brand, and makes probably the most unpredictable sounds.
What recommendation would you give to somebody establishing their first dwelling studio?
My greatest recommendation is to not overspend on gear straight away. Construct your setup slowly and take the time to actually study each bit of apparatus or software program earlier than including extra. That means, you’ll get probably the most out of what you have already got, and also you’ll perceive higher what you really need as your abilities develop. Additionally, don’t underestimate the significance of monitoring. Good audio system or headphones are essential.
In case your listening surroundings is poor, it doesn’t matter how a lot time you set right into a observe, you’ll nonetheless be working with the unsuitable perspective.
