Even though this information is viewable from within the MacAddict Tour interface, we've been getting tons of letters asking us "Who's the band?". So here's all the info, plain and simple, for the artists you'll find in this month's Tour. If you like their music, drop these guys a line, or better yet, buy their CD's. Enjoy!
"The Journey" is the last song on my new record "The Journey" which should be released sometime in late November. Inspired by the Aussie group "Plastic Wooden Fruit" The Journey was a foray into the Mac programs Unity DS-1 and Recycle. It was recorded and mixed completely on a G4 500 using Logic Audio Platinum 4.51 with Unity running along side. Audio was piped through a MOTU 2408 into a Mackie D8b Console. Mark Edward Lewis is a film/TV composer residing in Los Angeles. He specializes in blending diverse styles into cohesive sonic tapestries using both samplers and instrumentalists. He is also keyboardist/producer of the band Monterey Blu, and has several records to his credit. Mr. Lewis' operates a recording studio in his house.

Chip's Song #4 was written for a client, who first heard Digtal Droo on past MacAddict CD-ROM's. Ever the quintessential Mac addict, every Digital Droo song is composed and recorded on a Mac. After cutting off two feet of his hair and hanging up his guitar, Droo became the master in his own musical universe powered by a Mac. His songs are varied and feed from a variety of influences including techno, house, drum and bass, and electronica. To find out more about Droo, the history of Droo, the world according to Droo, or to hear his latest collection of sound bites and music, visit the Digital Droo web site at: http://www.digitaldroo.com, and http://www.mp3.com/digitaldroo
