Retro Reel is me and my computer, a controller keyboard and a bit of outboard gear. I'm running Logic Pro 9 and a shed load of VI's and Plug-ins.
Why this name?
It was a song title on my last album and I think the name generally reflects where I'm at with the music I produce - 70's through to the now.
Do you play live?
Used to play live - in fact 25 years of it - small/medium clubs, Village Halls. Main claim to fame was performing for Ipswich Town FC end of season do when Bobby Robson was manager. Played mainly cover versions littered with the odd original tune.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It allows people like myself with limited musical ability, but with reasonable music technology ability to share original music with a wider audience that would not otherwise hear what I've got to offer.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Bit late in life for that now. However, I'm always open to offers. I do enjoy composing to video/film and am still hoping to get something moving in this area.
