I've been making my version of IDM, electro and melodic electronic music under the name "Lowfish" since 1996.

​

I've always been interested in rigidly timed, sometimes distorted, instrumental electronic music with catchy/sappy melodies. I have a bias for analog-sounding gear. 

 

The name Lowfish is a neologism that attempts to mash together the notion of "lo-fi" (low fidelity) and "ish" (as in "kind of"). I didn't say it was a great name - but I needed a name. I was 21 and knew everything...

​

The notion of lo-fi "ish" was useful too in that my early tracks were badly produced. So under the name "Lowfish" I could pretend it was intentional in a DIY/synth-punk kinda way.

 

Synthesizers or Music?
