Octavio Cano

Currently I'm just networking on this site... Most of the work I want collaboration here is geared towards live performance. You'll be credited if there's no money involved and if there's a chance I'm traveling around we can perform too since mine is a solo act with featured musicians. I use to be pretty rigorous and demanding about minute details, but I'm learning to be more laid back and enjoy the flow of the music instead of thinking it and then enjoying it, but I'm still demanding.

Now I do professional drum tracking as well, for that you'll need to contact me beforehand because I do not own a pro studio. If you need semi-professional project oriented type of drum tracks I can do that at my project studio.

Drummer for most of my life now. Versed in most popular styles and able to perform pretty much anything I put my ears on. Been introducing myself in the art of sound production, synthesis and designing for the last couple of years. And most recently Working on Media implementation through music experimenting with interactive and reactive live visuals while performing live.

I'm a big Reason and Ableton live user, I point both of these because without it them wouldn't be able to make the work I do. I also own various drum sets and synthesizers. Piano and electric guitar are other instruments I love but two that I'm working to become more proficient at. I also own a project studio rig including a firewire mixer, set of both dynamic and condenser mics, compressor and preamp... just a basic recording rig all done on Mac OSX. Another staple in my set is a Korg Kaosspad 3(KP3) Which is my main FX processor and doubles as a Midi Controller during Live sessions. For The visuals I'm using Arkaos VJ midi. Also I use triggers in my drum set to trigger MIDI events on my sequencers from an Alesis IO module.
