FAQs
What is your name?
My name is Kate Parker.
Why are you called Faceless Musik?
People generally have a love affair with themselves. I'm about the music.
Do you play live?
No, I'm an "in my room" musician.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It gives ultimate power to the actual musicians. Obviously that's what the industry has needed for a long, long time. I think it's great. Progress is good.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I doubt it. I'm signed with an independent label (Mannequin Oddio Media) that supports animal rights, vegetarianism and veganism, and all forms of "the cruelty-free lifestyle." I don't think larger mainstream labels give a crap about anything but money. I like being part of a label that's trying to make a difference in the world.
When and how did you start writing music?
When I got my first midi keyboard on Christmas Day, 2005. Wrote my first song the same day, and have been tinkering here and there ever since.
Your influences?
Electronic (Depeche Mode, Photek, Omni Trio, Moby, Front 242, and many, many more). Classical (JS Bach, Vivaldi, Beethoven, Mozart, etc). Hippy (Mamas and the Papas, The Byrds, Hendrix, Iron Butterfly, The Association, The Beatles, many more, etc). Metal (Faith No More, Mr Bungle, old Metallica, Sepultura, Clutch, Ministry, etc). Punk (Misfits, Dead Kennedys, Nirvana, Pennywise, etc). 80s (Oingo Boingo, Simple Minds, Joy Division, New Order, etc). World (Indian, South African, Brasilian, etc).
Favorite spot?
Somewhere warm and semi-tropical. A vegetarian/vegan area with low crime and cheap food.
Anything else...?
I'm a vegan. I go to university full-time and write music when I get the chance, usually in the summer. I'm in school for biology and chemistry. I'm interested in nanotechnology, specifically clean energy production (artificial photosynthesis) = hydrogen fuel. I'd love to be a part of the battle to save our wonderful planet.
