This is just a little bit of my solo work, it's not too amazing, just stuff I record when I'm bored on rainy sundays and stuff. It just consists of some crappy little tinny keyboard beats and a grooved up bassline, maybe with some high fret bass tryin to sound like a guitar, and usually some badly played piano. But don't let that stop you!
The whole point of these recordings was to see what I could do with what little software I have available... which wasn't much! But now I'm gonna steal more software, and i have a guitar now as well!
Maybe one day there'll be something good here... maybe...

Do you play live?
I play with a band called Rost too, we just played our first gig and have a few lined up in various corners of Scotland. Check out www.rost.co.uk.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Hmm, not sure, I just find it a useful way of gettin my own music around. I'm kinda limited in my usage of it, being on old-skool 56k skinternet.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
If they offered one, yeah, but that's pretty unlikely I'm sure you'll agree! Maybe for my upcoming swiss techno project, that's gonna change the world. If I can be bothered fixing the keyboard...
Band History:
I got a bass, I have a computer, the two naturally came together and with the aid of a kiddies keyboard, I started putting cheesy wee songs together.
Your influences?
Everything from stoner rock, metal, grunge, through indie, hip-hop, and most of all - funk.
Favorite spot?
Glasgow
Equipment used:
Yamaha BB404 bass guitar, Marshall MB25 practice amp, Yamaha PSS-50 kids-size keyboard, and a cheapo philips vocal mic. All recorded into an old home PC with a rank soundcard and some dance music software.
Anything else...?
Ummmmm, nope, just hope you enjoy!
