tampax triplet
by mikrosopht
name: Casey Pegram
age: 17
location: Roswell, GA
favorite color: Don't have a fave color...
favorite r&b starr: R&B... almost the same as with color... Beck had some r&b moments on his last album though
so what artists do you listen to the most?
right now it's all about Radiohead and Autechre. I also love Bjork and Beck, Nirvana, Sublime...
do other artists inspire you to write, or is that more of a personal thing, or maybe brownies with ooey gooey fudge ?
It's more personal. I might hear something I really like, and then want to go and make something excellent of my own, but that's it. It's inspiration, not influence.
Is their any particular setting that you like you write in ?
there's basically only one setting, and that's my room. usually late at night
in the dark ?
yep
are you afraid of the dark ?
nah. As a kid, I was terrified of it though
have you ever seen any monsters or aliens or ghosts or crayons
I'm fairly sure I've spotted a few crayons in my time... aliens and ghosts are more elusive
but the monsters ? what of those ?
oh, definitely. just look at mtv
so why did you decide to cover your mp3.com page with animated .gifs and give me a seizure ages ago
hahah! the first idea with tampax was to make really abrasive music so that carried over to the artwork
where does the name come from ?
basically a play on Aphex Twin, who I was really into when I started making music
oy ! so whenabouts was this magical time ?
hmm... about 3 years ago
you said that the initial intent was to be abrasive, but your newer music sounds much more refined, very clean. why the change in technique ?
yeah, it's actually more of a software thing - all the early loud tampax stuff was done on Sonic Foundry Acid, it was all sample based, and the most effective thing was just to pitch shift the hell out of everything and make a mess. then I got introduced to trackers, and started working with Buzz, which allows me to be more precise and I guess clean sounding. but I'll probably be doing more abrasive stuff soon
Do you have any lawn knomes
what the hell is a lawn knome???
this is ed, he is a lawn gnome.
hahaha....
well I'm sorry to say I don't have any of my own
do you have any newly made plans of stealing some from the elderly ?
I might have to look into it now, yeah
why don't you respect the elderly like a good citizen should ?
Ooh. I've never been a good citizen :-)
explain in as great of detail as possible
I don't like to do things just because it's an expectation of society, or a tradition... if I do something generally it's for a reason, and I don't have much sympathy for the elderly, even though I probably should... oh well, they can do without their lawn gnomes
fair nuff, but who the hell is this guy?
Hmm... another e-commerce veteran... he picked some good movies but then he says he doesn't like foreign film? A strange individual.
so how did you meet up with TrRg n o9? or o9 and TrRg ? or Snuffleupagus TrRg & o9 ?
I had that mp3.com page, and o9 emailed me after he saw it. he and trrg thought I was a very sick, twisted individual, almost certainly a junkie. But they extended an invitation to their irc channel, which I ventured into...
so ok, did you live up to the strung out, crazy, wiggedy wack profile ? are u a wack mack, g ?
(Un)fortunately, no. I'm about as non-drug oriented as they get
so do you ever eat food
I have been known to on occasion. Pizza, steak and chicken keep turning up, for some reason
so you're vegan ?
Precisely.
where do you see the future of the world going, in say, X years, where X is the year you are describing. answer this with:
a: regards to the music industry
b: koala bears
c: coca~cola
d: one handed veterinary assistants
A: they'll continue to believe that they have the mp3 situation under control, while millions of college kids and people with broadband at home prove them wrong.
B: Koala bears will continue to be marsupials.
C: Actually, coca cola will be on tap in your house according to a recent article I read... crazy, but true.
D: The vets will be guaranteed business since those pesky dogs and cats just keep multiplying
so.. was fun song a fun song to write ?
yeah, because I was still getting used to using buzz
but now it sucks tentacled penii ?
oh no, buzz is still great
keen, so what do you think you'll be doing in one hour
watching Modern Times (Chaplin film) for film class and afterwards writing an essay on it
okie dokie smokie ! so what do enooze readers need to know from Mr. Tampax Triplet himself ?
you can do just about anything with a dick when you put your mind to it.
