About me

I'm a Toronto local artist who makes music, hosts the Lx7 podcast, and runs an occasional magazine called Assembler Techno Fanzine. As a fan of techno first, I love the music and the culture. I have alot of my stuff online at Lx7.ca.

I've been into electronic music for over half my life as either a listener or a composer. As a kid it was with the piano and violin. It wasn't till after highschool that I finally got the itch and funding to start buying gear and the rest is history...

My Gear

Main Gear: tr-909, MPC4000, Nord Modular G2, MicrowaveXT

Record/Edit: Fireface 800, Powercore Rackunit, HP laptop, Nuendo
