Band/artist history
Spiritland was the first joint musical venture that I was involved in. I had put an advert in a local record shop 'Selectadisc' in the hope of finding someone interested in forming a band. what I actually got was a chap by the name of David Waddington. David was an extremely talented and versatile guitarist, who could play anything it seemed. My role in the project that became Spiritland was primarily in arranging and sequencing the keyboards and drums, using Pro 24 on an Atari ST to trigger a Roland D5, Roland Juno-106, Roland JX-10, Kawai K1r and Boss DR-550. These were recorded on a Fostex X-28 analog 4-track and then layers of guitar and vocal tracks were overdubbed, bouncing 4 tracks to 2 using another tape deck. As Dave came up with most of the chord progressions and lyrics I seemed to end up doing intros and middle eights and using various keyboard sounds to differentiate between song sections, layering different sounds to build intensity. It was a hugely interesting learning period for us both and I think we are probably both pretty proud, even today, of the resulting album. However, all good things must come to an end and Dave left after completion of the 'Awakenings' album in the pursuit of a professional musical career playing guitar for Toyah. Jez is currently performing as whilst Dave is the guitarist for .
