Hello all I'm a songwriter and commited Vegan from the U.K.
After having the odd dance with major and minor labels alike.
Independence and integrity mean more to me than the trinkets of fame and fortune.
Although paying the rent and eating properly does help the creative vibes to flow.

Why this name?
My bandname came from and old digital 8 track i had which could only input so many characters in.
I did an ambient piece for a friends dance troupe and named it mapper because I couldn't be bothered to cycle through the menu.
Trite but true.
Gear heads will understand.

Do you play live?
Yes..anywhere and everywhere.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Hopefully it will revitalise the singles market and take some of the power away from major labels.
Redress the balance somewhat.

Favorite spot?
Depends..Matlock in Derbyshire is kind of special.
It's was good for my love life and it's a mecca for bikers.
Otherwise Montana in the U.S changed my life.
