In 1999, in the rise of beacon-interference on radio, I'd be bought up and activated on Coastal Carolina University's grounds to work alongside their college radio station. Being deployed on the coast is especially important, with stations near sea level often getting overwhelming amounts of range limits and interference. I'd eventually be of help to some research papers published by the college which contributed to the world's knowledge of beacon interference as a whole. (Naturally, those papers didn't do much for solving the issue itself.)
With how much time I spent with the radio kids, I would gain a pretty broad musical taste, but I'd end up getting pretty into techno, specifically ambient and dark techno, earning me the namesake of Pulsewidth by my peers (right as AISR musical naming conventions were on the rise). I slotted into DJing as a hobby pretty easily, and would end up frequently playing sets on the air. I'd stick by the station for a very long time, but I'd loosen my connection to the college itself more and more as years went on, eventually not living on-campus at all.
Eventually looking for some sort of other direction (as beloved as I was to CCU's station), I'd land myself in Garden City. People love to say that machines and beaches don't mix whatsoever, but those are people who have no patience for cleaning (of course, I'm not waterproof. Ha ha). Through learning my own self-maintenance, I'd find interest in the AISR modding scene where I'd learn a lot of the technical skills I use today. I found a lot of joy in repairing and modifying myself and others, and I'd take it up as a job after a bit. I applied and obtained a work license and phone number relatively early on. I run my business "Fine Tune" to this day, mostly by myself.
Repair work would lead me to meeting Pearl's Girl (everything0everything), who is now a dear friend and bandmate. I'd met Party Death Machine (party_death_machine) a lot earlier on, but you can tell it wasn't through repair work (nor modification. Ha ha). We're all in the band "3P Sound Project," which mostly plays locally for the time being.
Thanks for stopping by and reading. ♥ Feel free to contact me with any repair requests if you're in the Garden City area. Band booking is a different story for now.
