Hi Shane, <\/b><\/p>\n
Thanks for finding time to talk to us ! What were the first dub records you had the chance to hear growing up?<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
King tubby, the police were the first dub influenced stuff I listened to as a kid as well as UB40.<\/span><\/p>\n Is there a specific reason why you\u2019ve always connected to this particular style?<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The keys, the vibe, alot of dub uses minor keys which I vibe with. Nice positive vibes.<\/p>\n Where do you see dub evolving through the electronic era, especially the psychedelic dub wave?<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n As far as the delay fractalizes dub will evolve.<\/p>\n With the name Quanta, what is your interest in quantum physics (especially in relation to musical vibrations)?<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Quanta is the positive and negative fields of quantum physics. My interest in quantum physics is the unanswered questions of the origins of life and nature.<\/span><\/p>\n What do you think about the healing propensity for this music?<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Vibration is everything, music has the potential to heal on so many different levels. Always learning more about different frequencies and arranging different frequencies. Constantly learning about the arranging different frequencies and their scales. Learning about the rhythmic patterns. Infinitely learning.<\/span><\/p>\n What was the first psybient\/psychill\/psydub music you heard?<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Warp Technique, Pitch Black, later came OTT, Third Ear Audio<\/span><\/p>\n Have these genres changed since you first started listening?<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Yes, the sound design has definitely advanced and production skills just as any genre has advanced over the years.<\/span><\/p>\n When did you start making your own music?<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n I started making music around 1997\/98, I started playing around with my friends studio setup, things were quite different then\u2026 atari ST500 and akai s1000, a couple of sound modules and synthesizers. It was all mixed through a spirit studio mixing desk with aux effects. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Who were some of your main contemporary influences when you first started?<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n I was quite into Ninja Tunes and trip hop, DJ Food, Aphex Twin, Nightmares on Wax, anything on warp records.<\/span><\/p>\n
