A friends daughter suggested it, it's an alternative to Solid Waste, which is what my wife calls the project (her idea of a joke).

No, not at the moment, maybe one day.

Sites like this are great for amateur musicians like myself, it gives anyone how wants to the opportunity to get their music heard. On the other hand I am concerned about the increasing tendency for people to think that all music is free. I feel pretty strongly that musicians should be compensated for their work. Also, generally speaking the sound quality when listening through a computer or MP3 player is horrible.

Highly unlikely, but yes.

I started playing drums in my teens, played in a couple of bands at school but nothing serious. I learned to play classical guitar in my twenties and then forgot how to in my thirties! When we moved to the US five years ago we had more space and fewer neighbors to annoy so I bought myself a drum kit and started playing again. I followed this up with a cheap guitar pack and then bass, keyboard and 8 track recorder.

I like everything from soul to hard rock. I grew up in the UK listening to everything from Northern Soul, punk, new wave and classic rock. Currently my favourite rock band is The Tragically Hip but I also love the Scottish band The Bathers. Other artists on heavy rotation are Arcade Fire, The National, Sophie B Hawkins, Springsteen, Tom McRae, Ray Lamontagne, Pearl Jam, Shiney Toy Guns, The Hothouse Flowers, Ismael Lo, Robert Palmer & Big Head Todd & the Monsters.

Cape Town, just about anywhere in South Africa or the Scottish Highlands.

Epiphone, Yamaha and Rogue guitars, Boss, DOD, Ibanez, Danelectro, Korg & Behringer effects. Crate, Behringer and Peavey amps. Yamaha keyboards. Tama drums & Paiste cymbals. All recorded on Fostex digital 8 track.

Yes, for anyone out there thinking of recording I would say give it a try, you will be amazed at the sound quality you can get out of very inexpensive equipment.
