An interview with Xtrullor, you can meet it in this post!
Hey!! hi, i make a interview with an artist of newgrounds, it´s popular because the songs what he maked, and now, you can meet a Xtrullor in a interview on the PM System (Private Mensagging) of Newgrounds, i hope you like, (sorry for thebad english, i make the questions, using my english, with.. the help of the tool of translation of google) :D Now, its time of copy and paste the content of the mensagging :
""""
First Question.... What´s your name? ok, ok, ok, not surname of course, only your first name
-It's Tuukka. Probably haven't heard of that one before, eh.
2- Where do you live? ex: "Toronto, Canada"
-Tampere, Finland. I am currently residing in Haapavesi for the summer as I like having my own quiet space most of the time.
3- What software do you use to compose your songs?
-I mainly use FL Studio to compose my tracks and a bunch of additional plugins. I'll do a short list of plugins I commonly use:
Synthesizers:
- Harmor
- Serum
- Razor
- Sytrus
- Massive
- Absynth 5
Mixing plugins:
- FL Studio's native plugins
- Waves Gold bundle
- Waves TransX
- Native Instruments Transient Master
- Waves LinMB
- Tantra
- SGA1556
- Camelcrusher
- Izotope Ozone 7
- Izotope Trash 2
Instrumental (samplers)
- Olympus Choir
- EWQL Composer Cloud subscription
- Granulate
- Kontakt 5 full of libraries from Komplete 9 Ultimate bundle
4- it feels to be "literally" world famous in newgrounds? I guess you know what I mean
--Like any other day. I thought as the so called fame increased, something would change. Yet I feel like no one is actually following me around. You get used to the novelty of big numbers quicker than you think. I basically don't really care anymore, I'm just doing what I have always done. My goal is not to reach a some kind of arbituary level of "mastery," because I will never reach it.
My goal is to just be on the path itself, which is the most important thing we have in every day life: The present moment itself. I don't need anything more than that.
5- Sometime you feel pressure by your fans?
--Sure, though I don't take anyone seriously at all. I do my thing, you do your thing, and we are set. I compose only for myself, but sometimes people don't really understand that. I love people's suggestions but to be honest, in my opinion, vast majority of those are incredibly unoriginal ideas and therefore boring to chase after. My deepest desire is innovation, and I am going to embody it.
6- That inspires you to create your own music?
--The reality that is aware of itself; The primary experience that every one of us have.
7- Practice other hobbies? besides music?
--I draw artworks, though never showed those much to anyone so far. I am also deeply fascinated in consciousness itself, so I do self-studying here now and then.
8- How old are you? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
--20
9- One of your most successful projects is the song entitled "SuperNova" Some want to know what inspired you to achieve a melody of that magnitude
--Au5, simple as that. Once I discovered his music I have been very inspired by his unique sound. Take a listen and you will understand how.
10 - Your songs are preferred to levels Geometry Dash, the song was popular in early 2016 to levels, was "SuperNova" some know that surprised you, but no one could tell whether react well or ill, that you think, knowing that half the world, use your songs for creating spectacular levels? like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjPQo5PNI0k or this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4icypNmkTM
--I am aware of the Geometry Dash community, yes. I appreciate the attention it has gathered around my music, but I yet have to be noticed by other producers as well. For now, just like I said, I am more self-reserved with the community and try to seek ways to expand my capabilities to work with other similarly minded people as I.
Big numbers are just numbers. People and actually people. One of the other create more interesting life experiences over time, and I have yet to see any meaningful difference before and after this gathering of fame.
11- You are user in Geometry Dash? some fans you have sought and are not sure where to find ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
--I have tried it, but the linearity honestly put me off from it. I am fascinated by the creativity of level creation though, but the gameplay was just kind of too repetitive for my tastes. I like alternative approaches, so I say greetings to strategy-orientation.
12- You've had rivals?
--Why make rivals when you can have friends.
13- Do you think stop the music business at some point? or you will continue until the end of times?
--I have designated this to be my life purpose. In the larger scale of thinking, I have just started with my journey. I have visions of performances in the scales of epic magnitudes, you will see.
14- how long you estimate finish a new song?
--15-100 hours per track, or from days to months - depending of the scale of production.
15- you are currently working on a new project on the date (2016)? If so, we reveal an exclusive sample of your new project? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
--I have been focusing a lot on improving myself this year, particularly in the orchestral music production. So you can have this preview for now. http://www.newgrounds.com/projects/audio/969822/preview
16- What advice would you give to a newbie who aspires to be a musician?
-In the beginning, I cannot stress enough to make as much music as humanly possible. Quantity over quality. Give it enough years and the importance between quantity and quality will switch around. You learn the fastest by simply just doing. You can read all your life about how to drive a car, but to actually drive a car well, you have to drive it.
Learn to love manuals. Learn absolutely everything you can. The only thing slowing you down in improvement here is only yourself thinking you can do without them. RTFM!
17- Which brings us to this: tell us, how did you start in newgrounds?
--I discovered I could do music on a computer at around 2008. It was the golden age of Habbo Hotel where you could also find that one machine where you can layer different loops together to make an arbituary track. I got interested how you could do this more in depth and found out about FL Studio eventually. I totally sucked at using it for sure, but then I posted some of the early craps into newgrounds at that time and I got addicted into seeing how people reacted to it. I have been doing the same thing in Newgrounds ever since till to this day, and I still love the euphoric feeling of finishing up a track you have been working on for a long time.
18- That musical tastes have?
--Obviously, electronic music that is produced with immense skill: Koan Sound, Au5, Joe Ford....
Then of course I am a big fan of orchestral music, particularly film oriented music. Thomas Bergersen is an obvious pick, but there are some cases like Marcus Warner who are magnificent composers found today.
I like anything with great complexity. I am a big fan of Shpongle who don't seem to have any badly produced tracks at all. They are geniuses and I am quite inspired by them.
19 - You earn money with your projects? if so, can you tell us an approximate amount?
--Nothing. I put all my music out for free, and I have absolutely no cash flow anywhere at all. Except I did get about 12 euros in donation for the Terran Era track as it cost a bit to produce. That's kinda everything I've got during the many years of being a producer. No youtube revenue either, I hate to put in disruptive ads that no one likes. I want the music listening experience to be as user friendly as possible, which is why I let people download everything for free and do whatever they want with them.
20- How a last question: You have something to say to all your fans in Latin America?
--“If you ever start taking things too seriously, just remember that we are talking monkeys on an organic spaceship flying through the universe.”
― Joe Rogan
===========================
That's it for now, I'll be signing off for now. I've got some projects to finish up...
Enthusiastically,
- X

""
As some have been able to infer, we have seen another side of our beloved artist who has endured the pressure of all his fans, made his music with an absolute love, and of course, supports the community of gd, thanking everyone for making levels with his songs

Now, who they want to interview the next time? (Must be someone from newgrounds) that questions would you? leave your questions and recommendations here !!!
