With fellow Basschat forumite pmjos' kind recommendation while meeting up last week, I decided to stop by and make a profile.
Mihran is my maternal grandfather's name (which I adopted as a musical nickname of sorts) and to state things up front, I work part-time for Moollon. I also go by Andi.
I was born in Southern California but have lived in Korea for about 2/3 of my life, where I studied music composition and traditional Korean music theory at university, married my travel agent, and worked for close to 20 years in what later became the K-pop industry. As for bass gear, a delightfully back-breaking 5.5kg 1978 Jazz Bass was my only bass for a very long time, which I passed on to a friend when I purchased my first of three Moollon basses in 2009...somewhat lighter solutions! For the last decade or so I've done music sound design for commercial productions full-time and haven't had any Kpop work since 2012, but I do keep things light and entertaining on the side with a personal dreampop/shoegazer project of mine. I also play have too many Gretsch guitars
MOTU DP9, SPL Channel One, UAD Apollo Duo, and Genelec 8040s are the backbone of my simple studio setup.
Lastly, I'm sure many know me from TB, where my profile name is Ultradust. Hoping to be a positive contribution to the Basschat community and cheers to all ~
