Purring like a... MeowMachine? |
A few of us thought it would be nice to hear from our resident journalist, MeowMachine, So i did the honors:
MAP: Hi Meow
MeowMachine: Heyas Mr.MAP,how are you?
MAP: Im great!
MeowMachine: Good good.
MAP: So, We've been seeing your great work on the Amp doing interviews with all the great musicians here and we thought it was high time to hear from you..
MeowMachine: Well I'm sure this was all bound to happen sooner or later,so I say,the sooner the better!
MAP: So to start, You are relatively new to the Amp, what brought you here?
MeowMachine: To be honest,the drawings!LoL I saw the artwork around and I said,"This is pretty cool!"Then bumped into "Shoot Me" by JBP and I got hooked.
MAP: Nice, you've become somewhat of a major presence on the Amp lately and have gone along ways towards contributing. What made you think of the whole interview thing?
MeowMachine: Well I didn't think of it obviously. But I saw that someone was interested in starting the interviews again so I thought,hey this would be pretty cool, so here I am now!
MAP: Well, I think its a really great service you are providing for us Ampers. I want to say thank you from all of us.
MeowMachine: Thanks and thanks to all the people who read and to all whom I have interviewed. :]
MAP: So, I also happen to know that you are very interested in creating your own music in time. How is that going?
MeowMachine: Actually pretty good. Me and my friend Jeremy are DJ's and I'm actually working on a track now. But I do a little of this a little of that...But as soon I as I get FL(IF I get FL)then I should be on a roll! Despite all of this trouble I am going through on this process, no singing for me.
MAP: Any idea on what kind of music you will be bringing us when you get to it?
MeowMachine: Hmm..I love techno so I would enjoy doing that, but I guess my real calling is classical, maybe opera? LoL, But if it's music, I'll do it; rock, jazz, blues, techno, anything.
MAP: Sounds like you've got an interesting future here, musically. I noticed that you've released some things in the lyrics forum... what is your influence when it comes to writing lyrics?
MeowMachine: Hmm...that's tough...I hate to write about myself so I just look around me and find one person and write about it. I have a bunch of others I have yet to post,but some of them are about me(Trials of Age) and I am actually inspired by my own writings.
MAP: I see, and when it comes to music itself, what are your major influences there?
MeowMachine: Hmm..My friends, some of the bands I listen to, most of the ampers actually.Just everywhere I guess you could say.
MAP: You mentioned JBP at the top of the interview, are there any other Ampers or songs from Ampers that jump out at you as favorites?
MeowMachine: Who doesn't jump out at me?! You[MindsAtPlay], Marino, avi, JBP,swordfish, Blueyes, alittlepaperdoll, ViciousKitty, yokoinc, FLYER, god, just about everyone on the AMP!
MAP: Awesome, you have alot of big brothers and sisters here ready for you to join in the music making! Anyone in particular you look forward to collabing with?
MeowMachine: Well I'm working on a couple now, but,right now, I want to just get better at things then I'll worry a bit more about collabing.
MAP: I see... So in your previous interviews you've asked about changes to the Amp. What are some of the things you would like to see in the future for the Amp?
MeowMachine: Well an interview section would be great! And I like the idea of someone reviewing so many songs before they can post one of their own. The whole video idea is good,too. But right now I want to thank Downchuck for his great job :] But yeah,the list could go on.
MAP: Who do you look up to the most?
MeowMachine: I would have to say my mom. Sounds cheesy but she's the one who brought music into my life. She's always sung to me and I remember her always singing "Amazing Grace". Plus the AMP always seems to encourage anyone to do their best at anything they are doing, no matter what it is. Which I am grateful for and I think is great!
MAP: And finally, What is one thing that no one at the Amp knows about you?
MeowMachine: For as long as I remember I've always wanted to sing opera! Craziest thing I know, but I've always been entranced by it. But I can't sing,so I think I'll just stick to playing opera :]
MAP: Well Meow, I feel like I know you a bit better now and Im sure all the rest to the Ampers will feel the same way. Thanks again for all that you are contributing to the Amp and thanks for taking the time to talk to me.
MeowMachine: Any time! I want to say thanks to you again, thank you to the AMP, for encouraging me, supporting me, and just being awesome!
