TalixZen is insane, I swear. Dudes got no attention span whatsoever. Writes a song in half an hour and will call it done. No 2 songs sound the same and almost none of them can ever be fitted into any existing genre name. Everything is different in some way. Everything is an experiment.
TalixZen grew up listening to records that popped and crackled, tapes that dragged, and cd's that skipped. Now he tries to immitate those sounds "ON PURPOSE"!!!! Weirdo.

Why this name?
It's my name, just a little glitched out. (Like me)
Do you play live?
I DJ. I play on my laptop. I sometimes use guitar pedals and stuff to make it more interesting. I guess you'd call it playing live.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
File sharring is the best thing to EVEr happen to music. Anyone who shares Metalica's F@#ked up view on copyrights and and all that crap can suck my d$%k. People will still pay for music that is worth paying for, but now they don't have to get hosed for just wanting to hear a song, they can just download it.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, if I read the contract really closely and I liked what I saw.
Band History:
Grew up in Nova Scotia. Learned how to DJ in Halifax. Started wrtting tracks around the same time. Moved to Toronto and haven't looked back.
