Mt Indigo. Taken from Jamaican blue mountains, Jamaica, original home of dub. I make some sort of dub / dub techno inspired music. “Indigo” is so overused though, thinking of changing it up for the next releases.

Reviving this because I’ve been thinking about it, and these are all fun stories to read.
I chose the name PBS in the beginning as a generic name that I thought was funny, and because I probably didn’t really want anyone to find it - I’m not a musician, and this was a side-project from my visual art (which I no longer do). But I still wanted to share stuff, so that was confusing.
I have no idea how to make an artist persona for music. I’d like to use my name but don’t like my name as an artist name. What I make isn’t really tied to a specific sound or genre, so for a minute there I used Not Hank S, because I am not Hank S, and it is also “no thanks”, but that’s pretty stupid.
So for now I’m SAS, because I am definitely making a Serious Artist Statement with this stuff.
new project: Lovejoy Division.

My kids named me Acid Alex about 8 years back and it just stuck. Should change it really to something a bit more sensible

I wanted something easily Googleable

Everything else I came up with was taken or stupid.
I’ve grown to kind of dislike the name once I started releasing things simply because when abbreviated it makes me think of Jehovah’s Witnesses. The J also doesn’t lend itself to typography I like. After my upcoming release I might switch aliases.
I actually like “no thanks” as an alias!
Mine is Snatch Numan - chose it because I always liked how Gary Numan’s stage name looked in writing; and I started out making music by stealing/snatching samples from MOD files.
I also pondered going by ‘Michael Horse with No Name’ (alluding to the Twin Peaks actor and the America song) or ‘Adaptahsteckah’ (German for ‘adapter plug’, but said out loud by a sound engineer friend from Berlin)
small black flowers.
My favorite song by the Manic Street Preachers.

I was using nilsec for a while, but then i found out it was a a generic name for the drug, Omeprazole which is a drug used in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease. lol, decided to change it.
It took a long time for me to settle because I’m very picky but I ended up calling myself Bassarid
It’s an Ancient Greek word that basically translates to “fox fur wearer.” I like it because it has a double meaning for me: it was used to refer to the mad-woman followers of Dionysus, who I feel a deep spiritual connection to, and in a more modern sense, fox fur has the connotations of luxury and glamour.
But, have you seen the Yellow Sign?
