Interview
I am originally from the United States, however I currently live in Germany where I attend University.
- About Uzeh
- I am originally from the United States, however I currently live in Germany where I attend University and have a job. I found Audiotool in Sophomore year of high school through a classmate in a Game Development class. I started by messing around in the studio and it turned into this 8-year journey (which is over 1/3 of my life). I really didn't expect to enjoy Audiotool as much as I did. Without Audiotool, I doubt I would even be into music production today. Thanks Audiotool! <3
- Describe the style of music you produce
- My favorite genre to create and listen to is definitely wave trap. The melodies are absolutely beautiful, and the type of drums you can put over those melodies are endless. I also enjoy making Supertrap, Plugg, Drill, Rage, Phonk, and many more. I love repurposing things, such as melodies/acapellas. If I feel something is lackluster, I make my own remix of it to my standards.
- What is your musical background and when did you start making music?
- I learned to play the Violin in Elementary School, the Trumpet in Middle School, and the Piano in High School. My first experience making music was on Audiotool in my Sophomore year of High School.
- What is your favorite Audiotool device and why?
- The Machiniste is definitely my favorite device on here. Having the ability to automate pitch on samples is an essential feature when you use sampled 808's/hi-hats with rolls for Trap music.
- What is your favorite trick in AT/What technique do you always use?
- I don't always use it, but I created a preset that allows me to change the pitch of melody samples using PitchDelay. You can find it in my presets list:P
- Have you ever had a writer's block? If so, how did you deal with it and what do you recommend to your colleagues?
- I've had more times than I'd like to admit where I have no ideas. I'd recommend listening to other people's music, especially genres you don't usually work in to give you some inspiration:D
- What has helped you the most on Audiotool to improve and widen your musical horizon?
- Connections. The more people you know, the more creative minds you get to work with. You learn more from collaborating with others.
- What do you like most about Audiotool? Is there anything you would like to suggest?
- I like that the community is very small and tight knit, it's like a small town. Connecting with people is as easy as posting a message on someone's wall. As far as suggestions, bring back showing how many uses/likes a preset has. Also, you should be able to filter samples in the App easier. I really appreciate all of the work by the Audiotool Team that's gone into making this site what it is <3
- Your message to the community:
- I'm very grateful for the opportunity to be a featured artist, I never expected this. Thank you, Audiotool team and Audiotool community! Long Live Audiotool <3
