Quarex

Quarex's musical career, if you can possibly call it that, essentially dates back to 1992, at the age of 13. After returning from several months living in South Korea with his family, he got a 486/33DX as a present for enduring the semi-hardships. The computer came equipped with a Pro Audio Spectrum 16 soundcard, which in turn came with TrakBlaster Pro, a .mod playing program, and a half-dozen or so .mods. He was fascinated by them, but ultimately the program barely worked, and in the days before the Internet (and even before he had a modem), there seemed no alternative to giving up. However, on a trip to the St. Louis area to VISIT HIS GRANDMOTHER~! in 1993, he picked up a CD at a local computer store that contained thousands of mods, dozens of mod playing and tracking programs, and generally countless other violations of public domain rights. That was pretty much the end of Quarex's life as a normal child who might actually ever listen to the kind of music that young adolescent boys were supposed to enjoy. Fast forward several years and hundreds of compositions later, and Quarex had finally managed to cobble together upwards of a dozen songs that actually did not sound apocalyptically terrible! (Then in 2011, Quarex noticed somehow new people were still hearing and "love"ing Unpopped Colonels and asking him to upload more songs, so even though he knew he had never written anything else in the same style, he decided to foolishly upload more songs! Just for you!!!) Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
