Hook started his musical career immediately after spending 18 months playing Internet computer games and never leaving his house. At the time his act consisted of playing electronic music with sequencers, drum machines, and keyboards on St. Louis County buses in Missouri. His rise to fame came when he posted an album of his on the Internet with the title "Aphex Twin - Druqks." Over 15,000 people who all believed it to be the real thing downloaded the phony album. When the dust settled and it was revealed who had actually made the tracks, Captain Hook was smothered with adoration. |
