Multiple aliases

[Duz]

Was having a think earlier today in the car about people who use multiple aliases to do different styles of music.

RZA/Bobby digital, pendulum/knife party etc. what do you guys reckon? do you think that if they are the same artists that they should continue using the same 'brand' or is it good that they separate the stuff they do out?

I think its personal preference man, its useful if you don't want the two aliases to be related.

There's a whole bunch of writers who write a different name on their books to keep their personal life separate

Tim Berg is a good example for this.

Edit: Holy crap, I didn't know knife party was pendulum! Mind = blown

It's also a good way to keep a good name if you release something in a different genre that bombs.

IMO, its a goo way of keeping tracks that have a similar sound under a single artist, but would allow you to diversify your creativity..

Exactly, eg norman cooke as his many edm incarnations chose a dif name so he could be sure he wasnt just cashing in on the fatboy slim brand. But the beastie boys release all theirraw punk stuff on same name. Then of course their are bands who evolve their sound over time but keep one name like the beatles.

knife party isnt pendulum

knife party are two members from pendulum, which makes sense to me that they use a different name

as for using a different name for differnet genres, i think its personal preference.,. personally, i dont actually think its that bad of an idea

[Jaz]

i think 2 is fine, but say you produce house, electro, and dubstep but create 3 names...thats pushing it a bit
