I was thinking about how I often change artist-name every time i stumble into a new project, and how artists like Richard and Ae have done the same (well, especially Richard). What are your oppinions on changing artist-name? childish? unnecessary? stupid? cool? I started out calling myself 'junktion', made a whole bunch of electronic music. Then I kinda evolved into 'garagelab', but still keeping 'junktion' as a side-project. Then came 'parallax scroll' which was a more groovier version of it all. And now I have collected it all into one single artist-name which I will stick too - 'sean junk' ... |

.. if you're comfortable with a name, may as well stick with it. if not, make a new one. that's what i find and reckon. doesn't have to be childish - although it can sometimes be difficult to follow someone's releases if they keep changing names. it just is .. not more or less cool than keeping the same name. |

my mate and i have been called the same thing for years (gate) cause we cant think of anything better :) we like the word cause everyones got their own image associated with it as for my solo name (late nights) thats totally referential :D |

|
in some ways its kind of cool to have a name that sticks .. "gescom" is a fucken cool name imo ... |

I associate my different artist names with the the style of track. Automaticc: Drill'n'bass, breakbeats...Xammax:Experimental hip-hip and D-Grade for experimental electronic/IDM. |

different names for different projects thats what i say. I have 3 projects: The main one being squareartheory [.com] the others have different names. Its all about association. I wouldnt want any of my projects to be related to the other, cause they're all completely different. I think aphex changing his name all the time is just annoying, its harder to track down his music. Fair dos aphex twin and AFX cause theyre different labels |

I hate my name because I feel I stole it from SquarePusher (which Ididn't)... |

maybe he stole it from you... :) |

usually unecessary, unless there is a member/drastic style change... more the member thing than anything. |

'pachi' is better suited as a name for a personal character for an experimental project i'd label it as 'ecometric' |

ive been doing music since i was 13 or so as JAroen... but that name starts to bore me... caus in holland jeroen is a normal name so i think its just lame to replace a letter... so im gonna change my name... but i dunno into what yet :s |

ah what the fuck i aint a professional so why even bother... |
||||||||

one thing i say to people when they are considering a name change... dont just pick whatever. pick something meaningfull to you. its like a tatoo. dont just pick something just to have it. tibbar is a part of me. my history. it reminds me of my dad. it means something to me. it IS me. its all just my opinion, but i think it's wise. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i think it sould be something that actually means something... not just some random letters |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
agreed. like "aphex twin" obviously means something to richard... "autechre" has it's "meaning" to them... go for something of value. |
||||||||

i don't like it one bit |

i have 2 artist names. hepburnenthorpe - my name is thorpe hepburn and nibk zaqmeld - just something i made up. i do my more experimental stuff under this name. |
||||||||

|
|
Thorpe is quite an unusual name.No offence like. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
yeah, i know...dont you worry, i copped plenty of shit for it in school. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i dont mind,really... but I'd rather have one artist name that would be catergorised into many different styles - rather than many names, with one-style-per-name. maybe i do mind then :-) |
||||||||

I'm totally rubbish @ making up cool names but I'd say if you get known with a particular name you shouldn't change it. |
