My Bio -
► Hi there! My name's Ulrich Benton. I am a musician and a music producer — that's to say, I am an instrumentalist trained in Western music theory specializing in percussion instruments with mallet percussion instruments being my priority; with that, I use that knowledge in my music production where I produce electronic music using FL Studio under the name Daymusik.
► The origins of the name comes from a few places:
1) When I first started making music, I used my ponysona's name, Daybreak. The change happened when I decided I wanted to try to be more professional with my music. This is, like, the first 1/3 of my name.
2) For years, my favorite classical composer has been Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. As an Austrian composer, I wanted to incorporate some of Mozart's German influence, which coincides with the next point...
3) One of my favorite pieces by Mozart is his piece "Eine kleine Nachtmusik", which translates to "A Little Night Music". The idea to take the opposite of that, making it "A Little Day Music", then combining all of these points together led to the name "Daymusik".
Well, that's enough about my music; what else is there about me?
► Less importantly, I am an artist, or rather I simply dabble in various forms of visual artistry. Predominantly, I'm a traditional artist, having spent years developing my style with pencils, colored pencils, and paper, and to a lesser extent pens. I also paint digitally using Procreate on my iPad. Recently, I have begun undertaking the arduous effort of learning 3D modeling in Blender. Other than that, I will occasionally experiment with other mediums that I might feel like at the moment, painting on canvas/paper, sculpting, crafts, etc., I enjoy trying everything!
🐾 If you do decide to follow me, know that I am wildly attracted to paws. I love soft paws with beautiful pawpads, so expect to see a large amount of such content from me. I can neither confirm nor deny if it'll be any good, so, thank you for following me, and I hope you enjoy my work! 🐾
