1. How long have you been making chiptunes?

6 Months

2. What inspired you to begin creating your own music?

Oh gosh, I've been writing for awhile... I guess, playing in the school orchestra and listening to the epic tunes in the old Final Fantasy games.

3. What do you personally use to produce chiptunes (Hardware and Software)?

LSDJ and 1 DMG Gameboy. I've done 2xLSDJ before, but I don't like it as much.

4. What genre of music (besides chip) inspires you the most?

Progressive Metal and Funk are kinda tied.

5. What do you know about music theory? Have you ever taken a formal music class?

I know quite a bit... BECAUSE I have taken music classes.

6. What do you reccomend for someone who would like to begin making chiptunes (tutorials, software, hardware, online resources)?

The best advice is joining a site like chipmusic.org and noisechannel.org

7. Do you perform at any live shows?

All the time.

7.a. If so, Where?

Anywhere I can. I've played little game shops for 20 people, mid-size venues for about 75 and larger opener gigs for any number of people!

7.b. What's your motivation to perform live?

It's all about the live performance, for me. It's my favorite part of being a musician.

7.c. What kind of gear do you use at your shows?

Just my mixer and my gameboy. (....and the cables, of course.)
