it’s like this: we’ve been playing music together for years and why? because we love it, and because we love each other, and also, because we love you. we’ve played together in a lot of other projects which eventually led us to discovering this: d numbers. we started this project in elise’s old bedroom in january of 2002. the neighbors didn’t like us, we kept playing anyway. there are three of us. there’s ben: we call him bacon sometimes but that’s a long story. he is the master of The Bounce, the Beats, the Good Vibes, and the Wall of Sound. he play’s guitar and also plays a nord keyboard and mixes d numbers live, we think he’s amazing. he loops all of his sounds live. he also makes beats and writes a lot of music. sometimes he takes loops of paul also. who’s paul? well… then there’s paul: many of you might know paul as your favorite dj: feathericci. feathericci plays drums in d numbers and also plays samples that he has created over the past five years. he brings the Color, Love, and Texture to d numbers. plus a Groove that is as comforting as a Mother’s Hug and as funky as a Hamhock in Your Cornflakes. and there’s me: i’m brian, some people call me The Diplomat, because i’m so fucking nice. i like Long Wavelengths and Low Frequencies and sounds that move through your whole body, therefore, i play bass. also, i have some old keyboards that i fell in love with along the way. i play them in d numbers. i also makes loops of sounds live. so there it is.
