2) On average, how long does it take you to build and finish a Song?
It depends, sometimes 2 or 3 weeks and other times a few days (3 to 4). Mostly its all about the feeling.
3) Which parts do you find tedious when building your track (if any), if it pattern sequencing, automation, etc?
I think automation sometimes can be tedious but still needs to be done, specialywhen the desired results are achieved.
4) Where did the inspiration come from to start producing music?
When i first met electronic music, but after a short time i was dj'ing and during years i forgot about my first intention.. two years ago i finally got a new computer and started to produce.
Worked with Floops, Reason, Cubase, Live, Pro-tools..but my personal choice still goes for Logic.
5) AND Your favourite style to produce?
Psychedelic, doesn't have to be necessarily full-on. I also like to do experimental music, kind of electronic-ambient ...
