"ONLINE DUB ARTISTS (2)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)
WWW, April 3 2009 - I started to work with sequencers and other computerized forms of Studio technology somewhere around 1987. Primitive stuff, I only had sounds that would even be too cheap for children's toys today.
It enabled me to practice and develop my own techniques. I listened past the cheap sounds as I programmed drum patterns and thing, knowing that as technology would grow, so would the quality of the sounds.
I created a set-up with two SoundBlaster Soundcards, led the output to my mixing board, where I had an old tape recorder as echo and a cheap phaser, along with a microphone.
It took me about ten years, before I would get online and start sharing some of my works. The year was 1997 and I was about to witness the birth of a complete new generation and kind of artist: the Online DUB Artist.
One Love, Give Thanks,

A haunting bass and echo's coming from afar, the bassdrum enters and shows the way. All around us are rumours of wars, aimed at driving us crazy, which we would become if we would not be strong. Strong like the foundational bassdrum. Ah who said DUB don't speak?
