Interview with Gibbon:
phuture: Hey Gibbon! Welcome aboard phuture. Tell the world a bit about yourself before we dive into some juicy questions.
Gibbon : My name is Zack and I live in Boston. I’ve been producing (in Ableton) for about 4 years, but been heavy into music for over a decade as a guitarist

phuture: What made you start producing and what keeps you going?
Gibbon : In middle school I would constantly record really crappy songs in garage band. It was mostly clipping guitar noises and preset drum loops. When I went to college I discovered electronic music and downloaded Ableton. Haven’t looked back since. The feeling of constant progression keeps me going. I’m always looking for new inspiration and new ways to make sound.
