I've always been baffled by the countless electronic music categories...
...and have never given much thought to where I fit in. For this site, I did a little research to figure out exactly which genre I'm supposed to box db9d9 into. I'll admit I was curious. I've always described it as "Post-Rock Hybrid Music Simulation" or something stupid like that. As it turns out, according to Wikipedia, db9d9 is Industrial Metal. Wow, I was actually surprised.
As some of you may know, I'm coming back from an extended break. I was burning myself out, basically choking the fun and passion out of it. db9d9 shows had also become so technically complicated, it was ridiculous. We were playing small clubs like The Whisky in L.A., but you'd think we were doing arena shows. Bands and club owners would look at us like, WTF as we brought in our own extra P.A. and intelligent lighting systems, lol. We were making things very difficult for ourselves and on top of that, we'd begun to take ourselves too seriously, or maybe that was just me. The best part was always capturing the audience's full attention as we pummeled their senses and each other on stage.
The music industry's current state of transformation is inspiring and I'm fascinated to see how we will evolve with the times. db9d9 is just me in the studio again. Actually I'm in the process of completely re-configuring my studio setup. Finally making the jump to a completely computer based recording environment. I'm looking forward to getting back to work and back to basics.
