EQUIPMENT
VT3:designed for the same instant gratification as its predecessor authentic‑sounding robotic vocals or a passable imitation of Stephen Hawking, look no further than Roland's VT3.is a Voice Transformer, which can transform and modulate the sound of a human voice, by connecting a microphone and sliding and turning knobs on the machine Marco is using the vt3 n our first original song.
MiniBrute:MiniBrute is a monophonic, pure analog synthesizer designed and manufactured by Arturia, a French synthesizer software and hardware company that uses modern technology to increase its depth of its sound. The synthesizer uses a single. Samarth uses this synth in all of our songs except our cover of pink matter Frank ocean.
Overdrive WAH:
The WAH overdrive is an audio signal processor that is used to enhance electric instruments by increasing the gain. Distortion is mainly used for electric guitars but can also used for different electric instruments. Guitarists that play electric blues generally use an overdriven sound by increasing the guitar amplifiers to high volume. Reece is using this overdrive with all our songs.

Who Is my Artist inspiration?
There are countless of artist who have inspired me over the years through music, but my top 3 artist who have been my icons are; Bob Marely, NAO and Erykah Badu. I wasn't able choose one artist because every artist I have mentioned has distinctively effected me as a person and as a musician. For example Bob Marely is well known for promoting human rights, historical factors and metaphoric meanings within his music. He is also one of the found makers of the Reggae genre. As a musician he has greatly motivated me to create music that has a meaningful, storyline that everyone can relate to and learn from. Erykah Badu Is very Unique in the way she performs and creates music, hence why she is well known because she is different. she is also a Neo-Soul artist which is the main genre I would like to relate more with. Both Marely and Erykah promote African awareness and African beauty within music, which is something I would like to do in the future.
NAO Uses a large amount of technology to define and create her music. She uses Auto-tune and voice transformers to make her voice have a eccentric sound to it. Her music seems to be a combination of soul, electronic music, R&B and funk, but she likes to call her music 'Wonky Funk'. The reason why she is an inspiration to me is because she combines different types of genre together to create her own type of music. I wouldn't like to be in one type genre because after while you will restrict yourself from exploring and creating new things within music. I believe she motivates me to think outside of the box.
