Welcome to the house of the 2nd mouse
TM ( logo idea - CHRIS.M / Design - XGIBBO )
I've been making music since about the age of 14 , so thats over 20 years ago.............however , I've been "seriously" making music for about 4/5 years now.
I grew up being a big big fan of depeche mode. It became a natural progression to Detroit Techno and I discovered artists like Juan Atkins / Model 500 , Derrick May , Blake Baxter. After that came more underground stuff such as Dan Curtin, Luke Slater, Jeff Mills , Polygon window/Aphex twin , and most recently Balil/Plaid , Boards of Canada and a lot of independant IDM and electronica from John Tejada , Plone , Frank Martiniq , Vesna , Lucine Icl , Michaela Melian etc.....
If its fresh and experimental , i'll listen to it.
2ndMOUSE is all about attempting to push boundaries and fuse together sounds that were never intended to enjoy the same space , hard and soft , rough and smooth -------- whilst bringing a smile to your face , or , a tear to your eye. Watch this space cos im only gettin started !!
I havent arrived yet.............but ive most certainly left.
I'll be playing live within the next 6 months
I dont really listen to a lot of electronica and I find that keeps my ideas fresh and I'm getting water from my own well.
I listen to everything from opera to Jazz
F L studio , a cement mixer hardwired to a kenwood food mixer and a HAL9000 with an arsenal of VSTs that would make Bush run for cover.

This is my first listen at SC for nearly 9 months now! I wanted to see what you'd been up to. I'm diggin 38 Commute right now. Wow. I'll keep listening, but I just wanted to stop in and say "hi".So I discovered your page about a week ago, and I've been hooked on your sound since. Your music is seriously some of the best I've heard in recent years, and I really appreciate you making them free. I love walking around with 2nd Mouse on my ipod. You've got such a lush sound going.
My favorite tracks are odetoarevolver, blueeyeblacksheepdarkhorse, lasttoknowedit, waifsandstrays, hyperglide, lioneyes, 38commute, phaseconstrue.
Deep catchy melodies, great voice patterns, awesome braindance beats, quality sounds.
(btw I was wondering if you had a version of Hyper Glide without the cut out. Seems like it just stops abruptly and I just want that song to go on for another 3 minutes!)
Thanks for the tunes! You're a GENIUS!!As I've already said, this is one the best songs I've heard that I downloaded for naught. :D
I like the flangered hits in the rhythm, and that's why I wanted the rhythm to go on just a wee bit longer...never mind.
Man, I wish I could do pads like you! ;)Many months ago, I downloaded your EP called *Stealth Mode* from KVRAUDIO. I added it with all the commercial stuff in my personal playlists at home and work. Especially I like the style you present in "Life is a Sinewave" and "Hyperglide."
Great music. I wish you lots of success. I would have to check out your latest stuff. :)95,007 views
Absoluely fanf**kin'tastic. And thanks for all the freebies. I've got some serious listening to do now. after feeling a bit uninspired on the 'tronica front for a while. Just downloaded 'Aurora' from Juno. Kicks the sorriest ass. Cheers.
