Who is digitalflood.com?

Digitalflood is a one man multimedia art project featuring Christopher Welch. Chris has been composing music in a purely digital environment for over a decade now. Chris employs a number of analog instruments including guitars, bass, and even makes use of samples of children's toys. Those elements are mixed with digital drum loops, free domain samples found through hours of hunting on the Internet, and programmed musical elements to create a unique aural soundscape. Genres bend as different styles of music are mixed with reckless abandon. The result is a one of kind sound that is at once unique, but catchy enough to be enjoyable. The music has been described as post-Goth or Industrial Emo by listeners though it is truly unclassifiable. Chris also creates remixes and mash up's of other artists' songs incorporating both original and sampled elements. He is currently showcasing his disk jockey broadcast talents as well on his weekly Internet radio cast called digitallflood Pirate Radio.

Chris lives in Warwick, NY with his wife and two daughters. He has two cats as well. Chris works, as a full time job, for a local communications provider as a Network Design Manager.
