Vaerna

When I first heard Vaernas music, it was on Myspace and I could tell she was a classically trained musician and I liked the melodies she played over a trance beat. Her story is very interesting so read about her and listen to the music. I hope you like it as much as I do.

VAERNA is my artistic pseudonym (and for those who know my real name, know that I hate my real name) that I’ve had since I was 20. It was bestowed on me when I began playing D&D and the name has stuck. It is also my visual artwork trademark. I even had my TM on my car plate until it became too expensive. I’m a mom, hold a full time job, might be considered an old fart, but music (and art) is my true passion, especially ambient and ambient trance. Most of the kids call me Nate’s Mom or the cool mom. And the older kids call me Techno Mom. What I read and what my interests are can also be found at http://www.shelfari.com/vaerna. You may also find my music videos at Vaerna6 on UTube, more tracks are on wantsigned.com, and I now have 2 requested older tracks on Facebook under VÆRNA. I also frequent NASCAR, and Serebii.net under the same name and I have a neopets account under adiovadio.

I finally discovered a great place for EDM music and hope to get it’s business even bigger. These photos were taken when it was not crowded before school started. Senseless Individuals and DJ Dragonfly were kind enough to show me some stuff I have been able to only observe from a distance. I love this scene and these people who accept me as I am and I’m making new friends every Wed. night. Those of you looking for a venue please contact One Eyed Jacks on myspace. They’d love to have you come and play or spin. Photos featuring Wood_B_Art and Lee Lee here on myspace as well

II learned old school recording, including sore fingers and lots of tape. I purchased my first synth( a DX 7 with the band) and a Roland D-20 soon after and began the process of recording and sequencing on my own. I learned to play and adore handbells in later years in church along with guitar and my synth. At this time, Hearts of Space began it’s radio broadcasts which I listened to religiously and still do but only via the computer now as it isn’t broadcasted here. I began collecting that music as fast as I could. I now listen to Alpha Rhythms, a local broadcast that has introduced me to more music and will be playing my music as soon as that album is completed. If I have the chance I also listen to Echoes another broadcast. My music is a compilation of pieces composed as late as 28 years ago to the present day and is a reflection of my life’s experiences. As ordinary life sometimes interferes with this type of hobby, (I’m not quitting a day job!:P) I’ve had dry years of surviving life given setbacks, and the arrival of my greatest creation, my son, who demanded my time and attention. I never lost my music, nor my art, never gave up, just put it on hold. Now that I have the means, emotional support (Love you, Dave), equipment and the time to complete my projects, I can finally finish what I started and get back to where I need to be so I can feel happy and fulfilled. I finally purchased (after saving and getting a windfall) 2 new Fantom Roland Keyboards, an A6 and an Arturia to go with my original older model Roland D-20 (still works ) and now a Kaossilator for my pocket. I own both a twelve and a 6 string vintage Yamaha guitar, two wooden recorders, and various other equipment and toys including Logic Pro and Garage Band that one would find in a musician’s home. (Like Rock Band that interacts with my equipment ) I have attempted to play every instrument in my lifetime so I could have a feel for their sounds and that includes some of the more stranger instruments. I am now a proud owner of a Digredoo. Certain songs I write call for pure patches as in orchestral instruments and others I use various techniques to blend and alter pre-made patches with created ones. As I get things properly through the legal channels and copyrights, I’ll be uploading the music as fast as I can. I’m open to digitally mastering tips and tricks and patch creation tricks as I’m pretty much old school but I’m a quick study. A very quick study. I do tend to sequence old school fashion for organic flow but I’m still teaching myself a lot of new tricks, including html. I’m always learning as there is so much out there.:P I’m open to listening to a lot of different styles of music and believe me I learn from them. If I really enjoy your tracks I’ll say so. I don’t do drugs unless they are scripts. They do nothing for me. I’m insane enough without them. When chatting with me via the boards, mind your manners and I won’t call you an idiot. I avoid explicit language and lyrics. I normally compose music in the early morning like the singing birds. Don’t know why. I absorb and mix at night. If you want, you can actually talk to me on xbox live under the gamertag silverberserker. Just ask for the ms. silverberserker or my stage name. I’d love to chat.
