1. Do you sing, play an instrument or instruments?
What instruments? < My first instrument was guitar, I took lessons for around 5 years, started losing interest about a year or two ago. Moved on to experimenting with drums and eventually ended up devoting most of my musical time to seeing what I could do with my computer by itself, now mostly everything musical I do is based around that. I've dabbled around in bass and keyboard but never spent enough time doing it to claim that it's something I play.
When did you start playing? < I started playing guitar when I was 11 years old, that led to everything else.
Did you teach yourself? < I began guitar lessons fairly soon after getting my first guitar, did that for 5 years, moved on to other instruments, everything beyond guitar is self-taught.
2. Are you in a band or bands?
What is the name of the band? < Mindprowler is my main project, which is only myself. I also play guitar in a garage metal band occasionally, Apophis.
What do you play? > With Mindprowler I use nothing but my computer, with Apophis I play co-lead guitar.
What other instruments are in the band? < Mindprowler is sample based, instruments vary from song to song. Apophis is standard metal band set-up (vocals, 2 guitars, bass, drums).
