Im not sure at what age i really started music but i got my first guitar at the age of 13 i was not that great but i loved to jam on it primal style then a year later i got a multi effect pedal and started looping and adding alot of effects to guitar and really fell in love with making weird sounds started plugin in mics and keyboards in to my digitech multi effect pedal and at like 16 i began to record and learn how to use fl studio started recording music with friends started some bands that did not last long then just kept making music on my own found out about alot of underground internet music stuff goin on in the old myspace days and really influcened me to just make and put out sounds.
What are your favorite releases of yourself? For which reasons?
My fav releases would be all and any splits i have been apart of for the main reason that i had to build some kind of friendship/mutal respect with the artist i was working with and being surprised with the finished work is allways great.
How do you actually record your stuff and what materials do you use for?
These days i have mostly only been recording on my laptop i use fl studio since i dont really have the patience to learn another daw sometimes when im walking around the city i record some sounds on my smart phone lol but i was recording on tape stereo systems a few years ago for mixtapes and splits with friends.
What are your plan for 2013? New music? Something different?
2013 started off good for music i have been workin alot with local friends who are making great music as well im allways doing differnt stuff if im not making noise im making some beats or experimenting with new software or trying to make my own instruments im just gonna keep doing whatevers fun for me and challenging and keeps me learning or what ever sounds good to me.
How look a typical Hlo's live show?
A show haha awkward and random i sometimes do some really harsh noise sets or bring along a few friends to make sounds at a venue and get sour looks from people prob since im about to blow out there PA and im over intoxicated, burn a bridge or two alot of times people dont understand whats goin on or wonder why was i was even booked for a show but i work hard on my sets if i dont got some new circuit bent equipment to show off im doing some laptop beatwork or something i allways try to switch it up and just have fun pleaseing myself is the main goal really.
Last words are yours, feel free to say anything you want!
Umm share your music keep creating you never know who you might inspire or help out stay humble stay weird dont let nobody put you down and have fun! haha idk im high and sleepy thanks sirona for the interview and good music.
