> Skie on the keys: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can call me Skie (pronouced sky), but my legal name is Jennifer Kathleen Mulcahy. I come from Clarksburg, Massachusetts, USA, which is a little microscopic dot on the borders of New York and Vermont. I have my Associate of Arts degree in Selected Studies from Berkshire Community College and am currently attending Brandeis University as an Anthropology major. I'm a published poet, an artist, and have played guitar for several years. What do I want to do after college? Well, that's simple... all my life I have had a single dream- to make video game music. Living in the secluded area that I do, I had NO exposure to the tracking scene for years and years while I wondered if my dream was possible. I recorded NES, SMS, SNES and Genesis tunes with my stereo and was regarded with curiosity by my peers! hehe. FINALLY... after having a band in high school with all original tunes, having my other musical plans thwarted by tendinitis in my hands (I had to quit guitar for a few years)... after all of this... the file extenion .MOD appeared... My brother and I started bbsing locally in the summer of 1993. I had a 1987 Zenith laptop with no harddrive, and he had little equipment himself, so we had no access to anything, really. My computer experience back then was limited to co-sysoping a bunch of boards and sending poetry all over the free world for the sheer heck of it. I had to attend school and choose some sort of major, believeing my 'weird' video game music goals to be a psychotic dream (everyone told me that a couple guys in Japan were the only ones who could do that stuff. HEE!) So, I chose Anthro cuz it's interesting to me. *shrug* who knows. Art seemed like a bad idea cuz i hate teachers telling me what to draw, etc.. ANYHOW.. *ramble* ....FINALLY. (About July 1995?) My brother Moss got a kewlie 486 computie, and I heard some MODS! Old ones... I didn't even get to see the titles to most of them, he had weird screen savers or something going... things like DASBOOT (Tremors) by Stony, Souldbinder 1 by Bob Hass, <??> and bunches of other stuff. I was working full time and trying to make a cheasy buck at the local K-Mart at the time <see the elite KMART.GIF floating around the i-net somewhere hehe> so I didn't get a chance to fool around on my brother's computer all that much. Suddenly- <hehe> Moss sez "Jen! listen to this guy, his name's Skaven! He rocks!" so I listened- woah, cool!! kinda old dates on em though, how odd...where's 1995? hmm. Anyways I kind of took to Purple Motion as a preferrence back then in my brief FC days. <FC was the ONLY stuff that could be found on our local bbses- and the internet was a foreign rumor to us at this point.> Well- WHAMMO- Toodles, my pal, becomes an internet provider type guy, gives me access for free *Wo0P*, and lets me play on the World Wide Web. I enter "Purple Motion" into the search thingie, and I find *DRUM ROLL* FM !!!!! I was like WOAH!!!! What is THIS stuff??? So Toodles hooked me up with some of the earlier FM tunes and I was REALLY hyped. As this was all going on, I had emailed PM a zillion times trying to tell him him stuff was kewl- no response! So I mailed Skaven and we got to be good pals before he went off to Ireland to study animation. I started hanging out on Metropoli BBS in Finland and I met some friends. I met Stinger, who introduced me to his cousin Mellow-D (who is DAMN cool =))... and from there I decided to mail Necros finally... and we got to know eachother really well too. I met Basehead during a random talk req. regarding the rumor that he had quit the scene... we got along amazingly.. he hooked me up with #trax on irc.. I started fooling around with ST3 during Winter Break in January 1996 and came up with "Iced Silence" which is my first attempt ever- hey Necros wanted me to release it ;) ... so it's not an example of what I am capable if, it's just a release of sorts. I will be releasing many more songs in the near future!! I recently formed an all-female music group called "XX" <study your genetics, dudes! hehe> which includes myself, Ms_Saigon, Pandorra and Saxy. I also am the new personal manager of Eclipse Productions <Siren's gaming group>. I am brand-spanking new to the scene, as you can see, but I am not going anywhere!!!! Watch out 8). Werdlee to basehead, necros, siren, futureassassin, mellow-d, all my other #trax palz, and of course to XX! I can be reached at skie@wrath.berk.net or found on #trax! YAY to all. -skie ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Thanks a lot, Jennifer! ;)
