1. Who are you?
     Vanilla Almond Creme is Louie Ambriz and NASA.

2. What kind of equipment do you use?
     It usually changes as we buy and sell (I hate selling equipment) stuff. During project annie may we had lots of different synths and samplers. Now the rig mainly consists of a Roland general midi module and an awe32, of course we use sound forge and acid!

3. When did you guys start making music?
     I (Louie) have been writing songs since high school, which was about 15 years ago. I guess the same goes for NASA since we are the same age. NASA and I met each other about 10 years ago and started writing songs for local r&b singers.

4. How did you get involved with white radish?
    I was studying Japanese in college when another student noticed some anime style sketches on my notebook. He had heard of some local guys looking for artists to join them. I was initially brought into white radish as an artist, but when music was needed we became the main composers for the studio. BTW, we had to prove ourselves by writing music to the opening of "enemy is the pirate", I don't think they believed me when I said I could write music ;)

5. Can I use your music for my fan video/ movie?
    Yes you can, as long as it is distributed freely. If you want to use our music in something you plan on selling, contact us. In fact, contact us whenever you use our music… we would just like to know, okay?

6. Will you write some music for my next project?     Maybe. We are no longer working on projects that are NOT finished!!! You can e-mail us and tell us about your project, but we will not begin writing music for it until we have the finished project in our hands. Too many people don't understand the difficulty in making animation/movies. They usually have some deadline they cant meet (a convention etc.) and finish their project just hours before the premiere.

7. Where did you get the name Vanilla Almond Crème?     Jerry had asked us what our collective name was. We didn't have one and time was running out. So one morning during a song writing session, we took a break and started brewing our favorite coffee. That's where the name came from.

8. Why do you have such weird names for your songs?     We are weird.

9. Who is Jerry Cheadle and why does he love milk so?     Jerry Cheadle was a co-founder of white radish (now head of his own studio) and all around neat guy. He loves hotdog-potatoes and vegetable puffs.
