Overtuneph: Can you tell us the Brief history of Madness from the 7th flr plus the style of music you play?

MFt7F started when the band i was in disbanded, i was looking for some sort of outlet where i can put my ideas. my friend at the time was using fruity loops, so i tried it out, and it was easy to use, so i was making pieces from there and then booom. the big bang = mft7f.
about the style, i dont really have a particular style that i follow, it is very organic when i make the pieces, quite ironic that i use a computer to make them eh? hehe. it is what it is.

Overtuneph: How did you come up with a name? :)

this name was just temporary to tell you the truth, i was still looking for the right name for the sound that i have. so mft7f was just a random name that i came up with at the time, and it sounded pretty good, but ultimately i ended up using this as the name.

Overtuneph: Any other new bands and/or new albums that you would recommend checking us out?

you guys should check out this korean folk indie group called "Bluedawn." I am a big fan of them. Too bad they broke up. and check out this swedish indie pop artist called Jens Lekman, also a big fan.

Overtuneph: Any last words? :)

Libre kita ng fishbols sheng pag balik ko sa pinas this december. You make a lot of artists happy! keep it up po.
