Not sure how I came up with the name, it just kind of came to me one morning as I was getting out of bed! It seemed kind of cool and aptly represented the musical soundscapes I was creating.

I've given up live performing, but I've done my fair share playing in local bands, usually on bass duties. I like it, but it's damn hard work and the ego frictions became too much. So I've pretty much abandoned live performing altogether now.

I think the internet gives more scope for bands and musicians like myself to get heard without actually being signed to a record label. It also allows musicians to play what they want as opposed to being dictated to by some record company executive.

Possibly - it would depend on the terms of the contract.

I've played in a couple of local bands, but really found that I love studio work the best. I consider my mixing desk to be an instrument in itself.

I have a wide range of diverse musical influences and hate restricting myself to listening to any one musical genre. Influences range from Jimi Hendrix through classical through to psychedelic outfits like Gong.

Can't say I have one. I make the best of wherever I may be at any given time. Being alive is what counts. :-)

Most of my music is guitar based, and I play a Fender Squier. But I also use the FL studio program to create my drum programs, I play Roland and Kawai keyboards and a Hohner Rockwood Bass. The recording equipment is pretty archaic, I use a TSR-8 reel-to-reel analog 8-Track, a Fostex mixing desk, Alesis MidiVerb and QudraVerb (for FX) and then mix onto CD. I rarely use maximisers or minimisers, as I prefer the music to boom and quieten as a live band would sound like.

Not much left to say really - except I hope you'll enjoy the music that I present to you.
