A showcase of my stringy style, my piano skills, my knob tweaking skills, filter tweaking, pattern programming - ah whatever - just enjoy this weird sounding trippy little Gene tune :-)

One guy, one keyboard, one computer, music skills, perfect pitch, a head full of ideas and impromptu luck while knob-tweaking
Hi y'all! My name's Gene Boo, a Singaporean-born Malaysian, living in Belgium... it all began when I was a kid, playing classical piano - after which I decided to quit the textbook stuff and began composing on-the-fly impromptu jazz. I moved to Beijing, China in 97, and got into the hip hop groove - so I began freestyle mcin' to Wu-Tang instrumentals in a club. I went thereafter to Bremen, Germany to do an MBA where I met up with my mates who introduced me to the art of using electronic equipment to make music. Equipped with an AKAI MPC 2000, Sirius keyboard, Rave-o-lution 309, a Pentium II pc with Cubase and Fruityloops installed, all hooked up to a Digitech FX machine, which was in turn hooked up to a multitrack recorder, my mates Lars, Stephan and Thorsten began to innovate. I was hence introduced to the world of electronica - a broad term... we created minimal progressive house, dnb, breakbeats, hip hop... etc. but as fate has it, I moved to Belgium... so now I work on my own music as a hobby - focusing a lot on my jazz and hip hop influences to make lounge, ambient, jazz, house, dnb and experimental stuff.

Story behind the song
To show my true motto. Anyone can with plenty of hard work compose a song that is a working formula - an idea already put forth before - I don't blame them - but where's the creativity? We've come thus far in life only to forget the true skill that's kept the human race developing - the one reason of our being here today - not wars - scarred history the Europeans are somewhat proud of to regard as have beens - the disdainful act the Americans who are still yet learning the pains of it - those are lessons unlearnt... no - it's creativity. If everyone focuses on trying to create - with the least destruction, and innovate... there'll be an answer to the question d'etre of existence - and why we don't need destruction - because we have the net of knowledge that we haven't completely covered, and more hands make light work. There are so many things in life to learn, and to open our brains to. All my music is about innovation. If you think you've heard the style or the idea before - listen again - notice each sample has never been chosen with these filter parameters before - listen to the very minor differences with human chaos and touch attributed to it. Natural merged with Technology. How about that. Enough jammering. On with the song! By the way, all higher quality music can be found on http://www.dance-industries.com/catalogus.asp?artist_id=982 They are encoded in mp3 variable bit rate swinging between 128 and 320 kbp, stereo (not joint).
