i'm not into aliases. i don't think they serve any purpose. i did
however use one on the ultraviolet catastrophe "trip (remixes)"
single. you'll notice that on the "funk you very much" mix there is a
credit:
live percussion & vibes by j.j.freckles & slim
j.j.freckles is of course jon jules williams (who has many freckles)
and slim is me, cos i'm 5'9", 130 lbs. it was gavin hardkiss' idea,
so i disclaim responsibility!
when we (the UVC) remixed front 242 for the latest issue of twitch,
two of us were pretty unhappy with it and wanted our names removed. i
suggested crediting it to "homer simpson & ned flanders" but the man
in charge was having none of that.
i would only use an alias if i was unhappy with the material.
otherwise, i like to have my real name attached to stuff that i'm
proud of. so far, every UVC track published has had our real names on
it for writing credit.
i have been trying, unsuccessfully so far, to sneak in a fake name
that pete ashdown invented for a hilarious april fools joke two years
ago. just as future sound of london like to use the bogus credit
"engineered by yage" i am trying to promote the use of the bogus
credit "engineered by buttmeat."
