Facts#
- Brian Bennetts, 28 in March 1996; theatre major at California State University Northridge (acting, lighting and sound design); bit parts in Child's Play 3, Shout, Grand Canyon and the series The Flash (source: s-tw052-interview-daedalus).
- Path: introduced to ModEdit 1.0 after the 1994 Northridge earthquake, then to ST3 by Malakai; no musical background — he emulated Tangerine Dream sequences ("a drunk monkey pounding on the keyboards" at first) until a style of his own emerged. Uses ST 3.21; finds the FT-vs-ST argument "beyond silly" (source: s-tw052-interview-daedalus).
- Groups: Neophyte, Epinicion (a group so large he would call his own "A Million and One"), and a new one in March 1996. Pros of groups: combined talents; cons: arguments (source: s-tw052-interview-daedalus).
- Songs: Rainfall (his own); favourite PC song Global Motion by purple-motion; S3Ms on ftp.cdrom.com. Ambitions: game music (negotiations under way), a film score, formal music study (source: s-tw052-interview-daedalus).
- Sees newcomers chasing an "Elite" feeling instead of quality material (source: s-tw052-interview-daedalus).
