1. Do you sing, play an instrument or instruments?

Sing, Guitar, Keyboards - some drums and flute too, but not to the level of it being very useful.

I started playing when I was around 5 or 6 I guess.

2. Are you in a band or bands?

Not really, I am a solo artist - but I have other people playing for me so I guess it's sort of a band.

http://www.finnarild.com

3. Do you write songs?

Do you write lyrics, music or both?

I do it all :)

Do you have a writing partner?

Some times I do

4. Do you record your music?

Do you use a home studio? If so what gear do you use?

I have a dualcore Dell machine and a M-Audio 410 soundcard. I use Cubase as my DAW. I have several soft instruments and the ones I use the most are Quantum Leap Pianos, Symphonic Orchestra and Choirs. My favorite synth is the Absynth. Hypersonic 2 is a great plug for general synth sounds.

Do you use a recording studio?

I do vocals and mix in a pro recording studio.

Do you have music available on the web? if so where?

http://www.cdbaby.com/finnarild

5. What other roles do you perform in the music business?

I have produced and labelled another album in a completely different style for a friend. That includes promotion, cover graphics, writing a couple of songs and hands-on production in the studio.

I have also done guitar, background vocals and orchestral arrangements on several other releases.

6. Are you a tech head?

I'd have to answer "yes" to that - but not in any disabling way.

7. What country do you live in?

Norway

8. What are your ambitions?

I have several ambitions - I would like to release more progrock albums and start being a house-hold name in progrock music. Also I have an ambition of writing more songs for others and also possibly move into music for Commercials/TV/Movies. Finally, I'd like to write at least one big classical symphony before I die.

9. Do you draw/paint/write stories/computer art/dance or other creative pursuit?

I have done a bit of drawing in my time, but I never seem to get any good at it. I have done quite a lot of graphical work in my dayjob and websites for others. Good old Photoshop. Other pastimes is fishing, tending to my pets (two cats these days), loving my wife, redecorating (for the past 2 years ... while still loving my wife), gaming (currently World of Warcraft) and programming.

10. What would you like to get out of Songstuff?

Connections, advice, friends and fun.

1. Do you sing, play an instrument or instruments?

I sing – voice is my instrument.

I can make noises with other stuff but choose not to do so in public.

(Such a gentleman!)

I use keyboard and ear-holes for arranging.

I am largely self-taught - so it's been a slow road.

Luckily, it has been my privilege to work with some amazingly wondrous players and enjoy the benefits of fabulous on-the-job training.

I have also grabbed opportunities for odd lessons and workshops here and there whenever the chance arose and arises.

There is always loads more to learn.

I wish those education resources had been available to me much earlier.

2. Are you in a band or bands?

If there is a gig – there is a band.

What other instruments are in the band?

That depends on who is available.

Do you have a band website?

Nope.

3. Do you write songs?

Yes – well, I collaborate.

My writing partner is a proper musician so nowadays I stick to lyrics.

The world is much better-off.

4. Do you record your music?

We use a regular recording studio.

And real live musicians.

Do you have music available on the web?

Yup – it’s available from all the regular places.

Some of our songs are even listenable - if you can bear it – on the FaceBook page for Hip Pocket Music.

5. What other roles do you perform in the music business?

Management?

Have done.

Label owner?

Unfortunately.

Publishing?

Yes

Promotion?

Have done.

Other?

Yes.

6. Are you a tech head?

Nope.

But barely human.

7. What country do you live in?

Canada.

If you can call this living.

8. What are your ambitions?

Becoming better.

Evasion of creditors.

Posthumous fame and success.

Realistic alternatives appear most unlikely.

9. Do you draw/paint/write stories/computer art/dance or other creative pursuit?

I write stuff.

Pastimes??????

Maybe I should get some.

10. What would you like to get out of Songstuff?

Conversation.
