Interests: MUSIC, Multi Media, Visual Arts: (Film/Movies, Photography, Sculpture, Drawing/Painting etc...)

About Me: I'm a musician, currently attending Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA, where I've lived my whole life. I play the drums and the bass, but I'm probably best known for my time spent behind the turntables, primarily as a Drum n' Bass DJ, spinning under the name BennyB.

Recently I've spent the majority of my time working on music production (drum n' bass, hip hop, etc...) and I'm keen on applying my production skills to audio/visual mediums, both creatively and commercially. (My first 'experiment' in scoring for visuals can be viewed on the right). I'm studying, as a Music Synthesis major at Berklee, in order to build and expand on my production skills and techniques, with the aim of working professionally in any number of creative outlets related to multi media (Television, Commercials, Film, etc...)

Areas of Expertise: Music Production, DJing (drum n' bass, hip hop), Bass (primarily electric, but acoustic as well)

Company Description: Subconscious23 is the name I use for my music production. To hear examples of my work and view an example of my work for visual media, please visit the link below.

Work History

Manager of Drum n' Bass Record Store; 4Front/Knowname Records from 1999-2002.

Promoter, Resident DJ for Boston Drum n' Bass night, The Rinse from 1999-2002

Countless DJ appearances throught the New England area, as well as in NYC, Philly, and a benefit in Chicago.

What Services Can You Offer Adgabber Members?: I have some music production chops, particularly in the areas of Drum n' Bass, Hip Hop, and general "Breakbeat" oriented music. I'm very into sample-based music, particularly drum samples and I know and could identify quite a few "breaks" by name. I'm by no means an "expert", but if you'd like to know where a drum sample comes from, I'd be happy to give it a shot.

What Services Are You Looking For From AdGabber Members?: Potentially, I'm looking to network and find people who are working creatively or commercially, on a professional level, who might be interested in incorporating my music production, to assist in completing their creative vision. Primarily though, at the moment, I'm interested in gaining some incite into the legal aspects of production in various areas of the advertising industry.

And it's nice to finally "meet" you...
I hope that Adgabber meets your expectations. I think it's one of the better advertising and media discussion spaces online... Let Steve, Angela & Crew know what you think and I'm sure that you'll get plenty of eye-opening response...
