1 When did you start writing/recording music in your present form?
About two years ago. I had been playing music for a while but the thought of writing, let alone recording anything I wrote myself seemed like the worst kind of ridiculousness. Eventually I was emotional enough to do it, and in the heat of the moment recorded ‘Pink Flowers’, my first song.
2 Where did you get your band/artist name from & what does it mean? What’s your real name if I can use it?
I wish I had a good band name, I’m always trying to think of one but I can never find one that fits. ‘Til then it’ll be Becky N I suppose. My real name is Rebecca Nosiara. But that’s not catchy enough.
3 How would you describe your music to someone that has never heard you?
I play small amounts of instruments, mostly guitar, and layer them on top of each other to try and sound clever. I guess I try to sound mostly folky, as lo-fi as you can get.
4 Where are you from? Is there anywhere else you have been when you were recording?
I am from everywhere…I have recorded from England, America and Australia.
5 Who is in your band and what instruments do they play? If you are solo does anyone help you out, or has anyone helped you out in the past? Recording? Mixing/mastering?
I used to be in a band called Artback Baker, and me and one of the guys still send each other everything and help each other out with comments. Another friend I send all my writing to. Kris from Warchalking mastered all my recent stuff.
6 What other bands/musical projects are you involved in and have been involved in? What other bands/projects are your band members or people that have helped out in, or have they been in?
I think I already answered that above.
7 Discography (if any):
Quixodelic records, you know it!
8 What/who are you main musical influences?
Oh so many…a bit of everything I hear, I think a lot of it comes from Elbow, Radiohead and Joanna Newsom.
9 What genre would you say your music is?
Folk?
10 How and where do you record – what equipment/music programmes?
I have been recording on my laptop with a crappy mic and Audacity, which may be free but is still awesome. Soon to be amended by a Shure SM58 and an unknown preamp.
11 What are the short term/long term plans for your music?
I am currently writing (gulp) a proper album. Who knows, perhaps I will gather the courage to play some of the songs while i am busking. I am in a blues folk duo called The Crazy Setlist who busk on Brunswick Street (for any Melbournians) with only covers, so far.
