I first began playing around with music in QBasic around 1995. Several years later under the name Commie64 I began writing music again, drawing inspiration from memories of 1980's music, videogames, and fashion that i knew as a young child. I need to be in the right mood to make music, usually when my emotions are at either end of the spectrum - very sad/angry or very happy. The way I approach a song is usually by starting out slow then building to one or more glorious climactic points. Artists such as DMX Krew, Human League, Depeche Mode, Bananarama, the Police, and Hendrix among others have all been influential. Likewise, the wasteland of punk/emo/goth trendwhore music that surrounds me in my suburban community drives me to write good, meaningful music. God said let there be light ... I say let there be BITS!
