Dave McGuinness

I first got into music making through computers in my childhood first on the Amstrad CPC464 using MusicMaker and then onto the Amiga using Protracker. I started to compose music. The actual kick start on writing music came in early 1996 after discovering the tracker based music scene and soon I changed to sequencing with midi and DAW equipment in december of 2000. I took a long break in music to refine my skills. I now compose orchestral music. I now use a variety of instruments. My main one is piano, but I use orchestral libraries such as East West Symphonic Orchestra.

I started way back in the demoscene. I used to produce electronic music but for the past few years I've been more into orchestral music, so much that I enrolled in the London College of Contemporary Music. I really wanted to learn more about music so I did it. I still use technology to write music. I use orchestral libraries, notation software such as Sibelius and my main DAW is Logic Pro.

I did perform a few live gigs in the earlier years.

I'm influenced by a lot of composers such as Philip Glass, Nick Pheonix, John Williams, Thomas Bergersen etc.
