As promised in Backchat a few issues back, we’ve brought back a vintage feature where your tunes get put under the spotlight. It’s a great way to get feedback on your music, and not just from us as all readers can check your tunes out. And as they say, there’s actually no such thing as bad publicity.
How it works: email computermusic@ futurenet.com with your bio, photos (moody press shots allowed) and links to your music. We’d also like your influences plus an outline of what gear you use. Then, space allowing, we’ll interview one lucky entrant each issue.
For our first outing in this issue we have three entries: from Chris Carbinax (who gets the prized main spread interview slot), Reev Robledo and Andy Warburton.
Carbinax
Carbinax is the musical project of Chris Carbinax, a Northern Ireland-based producer. He says, “It is the result of a number of years learning, striving, pulling all-nighters, obsessed with finding the secret chords, the elusive beats, exact ingredients and blueprints necessary to make electronic music that is sublime, experimental, meaningful as well as melodically memorable.”
Chris has been releasing music as Carbinax since 2016; before that he was known as 2ndMOUSE, (after the Christopher Walken speech in the movie Catch Me If You Can). He tends to produce in a lot of different electronic genres – and as we see here he works on a lot of different tracks simultaneously – and releases all his music as albums (CD and vinyl) on his own label.
