Newgrounds Musician Interviews: 1f1n1ty

Posted by Belthagor - December 7th, 2015


I am glad you decided to fill out this interview 1f1n1ty and let us know more about yourself.

 Thanks. Oh wait, why has everyone else put their personal information in this section? Well, let's see...

I'm a person living on the planet Earth making music in my free time. I also do a lot of other stuff, like running my YouTube channel (which is almost completely devoted to Pokemon Mystery Dungeon at this point), playing games, and just overall being a nerdy person. I'm also a Pikachu in the Pokemon world, and I go on all kinds of thrilling adventures with my best friend. Just recently we found out about an entirely different Pokemon universe connected to ours, and we're looking into it. It's really fun.

How did you make up your username?

 Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Gates to Infinity has been my favorite game ever since it released. So naturally when I was deciding on a username I thought of it. I thought of taking the word "infinity" and mangling it (cuz I also like mathematics lol). The first thing that came into my mind was "1nf1n1ty", because 1s are mathematical, too. But that username was taken, so I messed with the pronunciation a little bit to make "1f1n1ty" a sensible spelling. Pronounced wun-FIHN-ih-tee, not ih-FIHN-ih-tee like I know most of you are probably saying to yourself.

When did you start making music, how did it happen?

 I started making music when I realized I was good at it. For years I had been learning piano. It was great, except that I hated practicing. Every day I would find myself, instead of practicing, freestyling my own tunes - putting my hands to the keys and letting it all just flow out. At the time, I assumed everyone who learned piano could do that. It wasn't until I was more mature when I realized that not everyone who learned piano could play freestyle. In a sudden epiphany I realized I would be good at making music, so I looked into ways to get started. I had some friends to help me. :)

Is there a certain message you want to give your audience in your works?

 Pokemon Mystery Dungeon is awesome lol

In all seriousness, it is. Go play some of them. But for a more general message targeted towards general listeners, I'd say don't be afraid to do insane things sometimes.

Would you have any difficulty composing a certain type of music or genre?

 If I don't have gear for it, I probably can't do it. That's pretty much anything but electronic, tbh.

What programs/instruments/other things do you use?

 You mean, like, other than FL? I guess my piano counts. I plan to get a MIDI keyboard in the future. :)

My VSTs and stuff I will not name. Nope.

Do you see music as a career?

 No

Well, I can't make a substantial amount of money off of free music. And I don't want to sell my music, since I believe music should be free.

Are you working on anything right now? Tell us about it.

 Music wise, I'm working on a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Gates to Infinity remix project and a Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon remix project. The goal is to remix as much as I can from their respective soundtracks to attempt to inspire others to admire said soundtracks as much as I do. Outside of music, I have a whole list of other compulsive projects centered around my YouTube channel and a few other things.

Other comments? (This section is for anything else you would want to write)

As you can tell I'm a big Pokemon nerd :P My whole spiel about me being a Pikachu under that first "question" is technically lying, but my imagination likes to tell myself it's all true, so it must be. :)
