The Sentiment

Just a quick preview of the setup I'm working on for live performances, the samples are not original (sampled myself from various places), but there has been a lot of effort in care involved working with them. Inspired by the days I used to play with my 8bit sampler, hell, all we did then was sample other peoples stuff anyway. Ableton Live, APC40 - APC 64 40 Script to jump between a step sequencer, live mode and my custom monome(ish) mode.

MC505 - KitMenus

H445 is the combination of previous names used in projects over a period of more than 20 years. This includes DJ-NewN (NewNation), Myztikl Resonance (PsyCore/Screaming Universe Crew), and DJ-U4iC (Crystal Vortex). Music styles include everything from ambient, techno, house, psytrance, drum'n'bass, pop, hip-hop, and more.

I had become very interested in creating music on a computer from an early age. My very first introduction to tracking and .MOD music was when I was 8 (Around 1991-1992). Starting on a Commodore Amiga using OctaMED and an 8-bit sampler, I was able to teach myself how to track and sample by the time I was 12 years old. This progressed to learning guitar, keyboard, and eventually a passion in communication in general. I have followed music technologies and software with today's preference to using Ableton Live or Renoise. This journey has also led me into becoming interested in programming generative music, as well as realtime coding such as Tidal.

Growing up on the outskirts of Windsor, Ontario. It was only natural that I would be drawn to the sounds coming from Detroit. The history and progression of electronic music, parallel to rap/hip-hop are my biggest inspirations in my productions. I've leaned on these inspirations to gain experience working in a local studio (Indebasement) in middle school and taking everything from that experience to progress into a professional career in communications.
