two mice fell into a bucket full of cream.
The first mouse struggled for a short while but quickly gave up.
the " 2ND MOUSE " fought so furiously that he eventually churned the cream into butter, and crawled out.

Today , I am that 2nd mouse

As soon as i heard this , i knew it was perfect symbolism for tenacity and determination , and a description of myself.

For the moment , I dont play live - but I'm not ruling it out completely.

Its a two edged sword.
On one hand , it gives musicians opportunities to let people worldwide hear their creations.
On the other hand , it gives us an " oversaturation " problem where people with zero musical talent become bedroom DJs , and the net becomes filled with crap , making it hard to find the wheat amongst the chaff.

make me an offer i cant refuse.

I've been making music since about the age of 14 , so thats over 20 years ago.............however , I've been "seriously" making music for about 4/5 years now.
I grew up being a big big fan of depeche mode. It became a natural progression to Detroit Techno and I discovered artists like Juan Atkins / Model 500 , Derrick May , Blake Baxter. After that came more underground stuff such as Dan Curtin, Luke Slater, Jeff Mills , Polygon window/Aphex twin , and most recently Balil/Plaid , Boards of Canada and a lot of independant IDM and electronica from John Tejada , Plone , Frank Martiniq , Vesna , Lucine Icl , Michaela Melian etc.....
If its fresh and experimental , i'll listen to it.

2ndMOUSE is all about attempting to push boundaries and fuse together sounds that were never intended to enjoy the same space , hard and soft , rough and smooth -------- whilst bringing a smile to your face , or , a tear to your eye. Watch this space cos im only gettin started !!
I havent arrived yet.............but ive most certainly left.

I dont really listen to a lot of electronica and I find that keeps my ideas fresh and I'm getting water from my own well.

I quite like the spot thats currently forming on my chin.

F L studio , a cement mixer hardwired to a kenwood food mixer and a HAL9000 with an arsenal of VSTs that would make Bush run for cover.
