About the Artist

Minimize

equinoxe is the artist name for Liam Fretwell - an electronic musician and producer from Rotherham, UK.


Having started by programming music in BASIC on the C64, Liam progressed through making tracker sequences on
octaMED on the Amiga before finally finding MIDI programming on PC in the form of Cubase.


A collector of vintage computers and consoles, Liam was determined to unleash their musical potential one day and
that day came when he wrote the track that would become 'Evolution (8-Bit Girl)' in 2007.


It took 3 years and a lot of revisions before the track became what it is like today. The use of a Commodore 64 on the
track was almost an afterthought until Liam realised that's where he has begun, and he was mixing those sounds with an up-to-date sound on his computer. Evolution refers to the evolution of the technology behind his music.


In 2010 Liam released 'Evolution (8-Bit Girl)' as an album, self published through his personal website. With the help
of friends word soon got around the various C64 blogs, websites and newsgroups and reviews came in fast. A limited edition pressing of 50 CD's sold out fast and the album is still selling a respectable
amount of digital downloads as of 2012.


2012 sees the release of 'Memories in 8-Bit', the follow up to 'Evolution...' and already the buzz has started.


Who knows what the future may bring...?
