Designer Scott Weber

I have been working with web development, applications, standards, and usability for over 8 years.

I have always been drawn to technology and electronics and my experience design career began during my junior and senior years at the University of Kentucky. During this time my interest in the internet peaked with a Macromedia (Yes before Adobe swallowed them) Flash class which soon evolved into all type of online technology. After graduating I took a job working for Clear Channel Radio Interactive as part of their internet division.

While at Clear Channel I honed my HTML and CSS skills and also started to expand up my Photoshop knowledge. We were maintaining radio station websites all across the nation, working with radio personalities to accommodate market specific advertising and keeping current with artist profiles and news. Clear Channel began to become a bit stagnant and I began to look for opportunities where I could continue to improve my knowledge and challenge myself.

After some searching high and low I was intrigued by a position as a technical web producer for Kentucky.gov. This was a very young state portal that had a very strong team which I was determined to become a part of. After securing the position I was one of two in the creative services department; the other being my boss the director of creative services. In this close-knit team (an office of about 10) we had to work hard to establish stability and processes that would keep us ahead of our state partner. My web development skills grew along with my knowledge of semantics, usability, and accessibility.

In 2006, I was given the reins as the experience design director of Kentucky.gov guiding a team of 2 3. My focus is on designing applications and online services while maintaining 200 + websites, ranging from government agencies and departments to cities and counties.

Producer Line 47 / Fault

I create many types of blips and breaks ranging from hardcore jungle, dubstep, reggae, acid, and electro.

Since 1994 I have been creating music. Beginning my journey with an experimental noise/post-rock band, Mrs. Frisbee, in which I was the percussionist. While in this band I developed as a musician and began a create solo noise side project built on electronics and found sounds. When Mrs. Frisbee fell apart in 1996 due to changing musical interests, I began composing and arranging these solo noise projects. I utilized old record players, tape loops, and records that contained lock grooves which I etched in with a razor blade. These crude abstract concertos lead into the realm of experimental electronica.

In 1998 I put down the record players and tape loops and began using my college roommate’s computer to manipulate sounds with many different audio synthesis applications. This brought about my first recorded electronic material, the self-titled CD-R “Line 47″. This album contained some tape/record loop projects as well as industrial/electro endeavors which soon became more intricate and complex. As time passed, my style matured with heavy jungle influences as well as blippy nintendo-esque melodies.

Once I refined my sound I met Enduser and instantly made a connection with him that sparked the Sonicterror Label in 2000. We quickly released albums and began to get attention from other labels and producers interested in working with Sonicterror. We we’re recognized as one of the top Jungle/Breakcore labels coming out of the United States.

In 2004 Sonicterror was disbanded as I became interested in other genres of electronic music besides Jungle and Breakcore. This resulted in the creation of Terminal Dusk, a label that was not focused on specific genres of electronic music but one that embraced such genres as Dub, Breaks, Electro and Gabber to name a few.

Terminal Dusk took off and right where Sonicterror left off with a great artist roster and fantastic releases. While I have been involved with some of my own labels, my time for creating and releasing Line 47 or Fault music has dwindled. Despite never having a full length release many labels have been interested in getting a track or two from me for a compilation or remix effort. Labels such as Ad Noiseam, Mirex, Peace Off, Maddest Chick’ndom, Alphacut Records and Painfree Foundsound Institute have made a home for Line 47 material.

Currently, I am working on Line 47 and Fault material. The Line 47 material is all over the map with jungle, IDM, breakcore and electro influences. Lately though I’ve been more focused on heavy bass, dubstep, reggae and techno influences.
