Producer, programmer, radio broadcaster, music director and host of Quietmusic, Nick Francis recently stopped by Dubspot NYC for an inspiring interview and intimate live performance and demonstration on his own custom-built MIDI controller The Choppertone along with Ableton Live.
In this exclusive Dubspot video interview, Nick Francis talks about his musical evolution, from listening to rock and pop music of the 1960s and ’70s to delving into the world of jazz, experimental and electronic music (musical instruments and music technology); Francis embraced everything from Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk, Brian Eno, Herbie Hancock and Weather Report to DJ Shadow, Moby, and Fatboy Slim. He has a strong appreciation for classic American soul and R&B and music of the 1940s and 1950s, but also pays attention to current music and recognizes the efforts of innovative electronic musicians and performers of the 21st century.
