*Name: Aggro1

*Members: Tim Blore

*Tape manipulations, digital deconstructions or turntable creations: Most definitely "digital deconstructions". Adobe Audition1.5 is the only tool I use to create my sonic-offspring. I know lot of mash-up artists are DJ's, but not me. I haven't even owned any vinyl since I was a wee lad in the early 80's. I think it was Olivia Newton-Johns "Physical" record(did I just say that out loud?)

*Location: I hail from the Buckeye state, Ohio, in a little town called Dayton. It's blue-collar, kinda' boring and definitely lacking any knowledge about the mash scene. In fact, besides the people who I play my tunes for, I don't think anyone I know even has a clue about mash-ups. Unless you count that Linkin Park/Jay-Z thing...I don't.

*What is your creative/artistic background: ????

*History: After listening to mash-ups since 2001, I finally decided to get my hands dirty about a year and half ago. In that time, I've made somewhere around 250 mashes. It's almost time to retire and cruise America in a Winnebago, I think.

*Born: 9 months after my parents did their own "mash-up", I joined the world at the end of February, 1973 in Topeka, Kansas. Yee-haw!

*Motivations: Well, originally I picked this up because I wasn't hearing any of the aggressive music(namely metal) I mainly listened to being used in mash-ups. So I decided to do it for myself. But I've branched out a bit more and now only occasionally do those types of mashes. But that's still my main love. Plus, I've always wanted to create music. I play a little guitar, keyboards and drums but not well enough to put something together worth listening to. So this is what the world gets musically from me.

*Philosophy: Keep practicing at this, and someday, hopefully, I'll get paid to do what I love to do.

*How would you like to be remembered: As still alive. And as someone who was pretty prolific yet still retained quality material.
