Community Artist Profile #3: Louis Haiman a.k.a. fwdthought
I first met Louis Haiman in August of 2005. I had just moved to San Diego and was looking to connect with other electronic musicians. In getting my musico-cultural bearings, I decided to use a website called meetup.com, to initiate a meeting of other like-minded folk. Our first meetup had a grand total of ONE electronic music fan (plus me). Louis was that fan. Little did I know what friendship, camaraderie and mentorship would come from that initial meeting. It is with great joy that I present to ShareSD readers this 3rd Community Artist Profile.-MS

Community Artist Profile #2: David Sarrazin a.k.a. Disrupter
When I first moved to San Diego, I wanted to start a 'meetup' of musicians into electronic music. David was one of the first people I connected with. David had been producing music for a number of years with various instruments in the MidWest with an early incarnation of Savage Aural Hotbed. Since moving to San Diego, David has been involved extensively with ShareSD as well as performing both locally and and across the border with ShareSD's friends from the BrokenBeat Network. I was able to chat with David this past week about his processes, Ableton Live setups, and his transition from hardware to software...

Community Artist Profile #1: Paz Torres a.k.a. Paztilla
One thing i have been wanting to do for awhile is create community artist profiles of artists in the local community. So, starting with this blog, i aim to put up at least one new community profile a month. Each month, i will conduct a short email 'interview' with local artists working in a variety of mediums. I wlll ask them questions about their arts, process and approach. this month, i would like to start off with Paz Torres, a.k.a. Paztilla. I first met Paz nearly 10 years ago while attending junior college. Our paths then diverged and only recently have we reconnected. I like her videos because she 'remixes' documents of her own experience with folky, nostalgic music. I feel quirky, poetic and romantic when i watch her videos. Below, Columbian-born Paztilla talks a bit about her art that is 'not artistic' in the interview below. Enjoy!
