nt2099.com january 2002 e:trinity is interviewed by nt2099.com again, this time on the making of various shades of blue and the technical aspects of creating electronic music. [ view article ] "For most electronic music, especially dance music, you really need a sequencer and/or drum machine. If you reproduced it with a live drum kit and guitars and bass guitars, it's not going to sound the same." |

for men may 2001 ign.com's adam figert rates "the dreams that we dream" #3 in their chart of the top 10 "bedroom tracks..." [ view article ] "e:trinity has made an incredible chilled out groove song that is every bit as good as any Kruder and Dorfmeister or Thievery Corporation song. This one would fit in perfect on a car ad on a rainy day. Heavy bass is soaked between lazy breaks and all sorts of awesome synth pads, sweeps, and arpeggios. Listen to this when you're feelin lazy." |

asiancelebrity.com may 2001 e:trinity is interviewed at a "hollywood party" for the webzine nt2099.com. [ view article ] "I love sampling and when people do it, I don't mind. As long as they are creative. If you sample a top 40 tune that was popular 15 years ago and you add your own lyrics to it, forget that. Most of what I sample is stuff not many people have heard before, and in most cases isn't really available in the US. In the rare instance I'll sample something vaguely familiar, I'll at least chop it up or process it to the point where it's not easily recognizable..." |
philmusic.com january 2001 philmusic.com does an article on e:trinity's visit to the philippines. [ view article ] "This visit is a chance for those who otherwise can't see my shows in the US, to hear my music and see me play," he says. "It would be nice to make my mark in the Philippines, but I'm still very committed to making Filipinos in the US more visible, so I can never leave home. But I love to travel." |
