Self Portrait, ABEL.

EOTC: So what’s going on Abel?

ABEL: I’ve been chillin. making music and whatnot.
  
EOTC: Dope, So where you from?

ABEL: San Jose, CA

EOTC: Nice, do you like it there?

ABEL: Yeah

EOTC: How about you tell everyone out there a little bit about who you are, and what it is you do.

ABEL: My name is Abel. I am 16 years-of-age and I make music.

EOTC: When did you start making music?

ABEL: I started making music seriously 2 years ago. I was first introduced to the idea of making music on the computer ironically in my freshman computer class, and it was this video of this beat someone made on Fruity Loops. After that I just became interested in it and watched more videos of that similar type of thing and I came across a copy of Fruity Loops on the net and the rest is history.

EOTC: What inspires you to produce music?

ABEL: I know this is such a cliche thing to say but everything inspires me. The more “direct” inspiration just comes from listening to other music.

EOTC: So what was your first beatmaking experience like? How was the finished product?

ABEL: My first beatmaking experience was terrible. I was pretty much lost. I don’t think there was a finished result. I probably gave up before any music was made haha.

EOTC: On a scale of 1-10, what would you rate it? lol

ABEL: -10 haha It was terrible. I didn’t know how to do anything. Slowly but surely I learned how to use the software and started creating music.

EOTC: lol Thats wassup though man. On average, how long does it take for you to drop a track?

ABEL: The whole music making process don’t take long, maybe like an hour or two. The  bulk of the time spent on a track is spent figuring out what to do. That really varies, it could take a couple of hours or couple of days on end.

EOTC: What was the hardest project you have ever worked on?

ABEL: It would probably have to be Swinging Through The Vibes. It took a while to write that song. Just about every element of the track strained my abilities. I think that track was key in my development as an artist. It’s definitely one of those tracks I’ll look back on.

EOTC: Word. all of your hard work in that track definately shows.

EOTC: What are the gadgets that help you produce such sounds?

ABEL: I am mainly using Logic Pro on my 24” Imac and a keyboard controller. I have some cheap speakers from Frys and a field recorder to record some sounds.

EOTC: What do you label your music as?

ABEL: I’d say it’s progressive music. It’s always growing and evolving.

EOTC: Do you collab with any other producers? Are there any you would like to work with?

ABEL: I have reached out to a couple of my friends but as of now they’re all respectively busy with their projects, which is completely understandable. There are way to many names to list for artists I would want to collaborate with. To name some names; Shlohmo, Baths, Lorn, Nosaj Thing.

EOTC: Nice Line Up! If you were not doing this music thing, what are some of your other aspirations, or what do you think you would be doing?

ABEL: I’d be making films. Even though I am making music now I still plan on directing in the future.

EOTC: Thats good man. Are you signed to any label, affiliated with anyone?

ABEL: Nope.

EOTC:Thats cool bro, Keep doing what you doing and you’ll be down with something before you know it.

ABEL: Hope So.

EOTC:Last but not least, do you have any shout outs?

ABEL: I wanna first thank you for taking your time to do this interview. I wanna shout out my homies AshTreJinkins, Nate James, Loon, Brey, InfinitiRock, Chocolate Girl.

EOTC: Aiight Abel thanks for the Interview. Hope we here at EOTC can hear more from you, and link up again in the future.
