What equipment do you use?
A lot of computer based effects and and sounds used in unconventional ways mixed with a healthy dose of overdriven JMP Marshalls.
Anything else?
DefbyVolume is constantly re-inventing itself,that is why the music varies so much.We've had mixed reviews because its hard to put the music in one Genre!..So What!..Who wants to churn out the same mass produced 'safe' music anyway?, we are not trying to produce copies of other musicians, thats not to say ideas belong to one person only!(like some believe),look at the advances, both positive and negative that come about through 'Knowledge', no one owns Knowledge, but we can all share it.Like for example the Computer has revolutionised the way people make music, and has made making music in reach of everybody.Applying knowledge,and taking 'ideas; and reinventing them is what its all about!
