Nemeton III
I am a one person instrumental studio project. I play quite a few different instruments and have basically three very different music styles that I like to play: Heavy Metal, Ambient and Celtic. That is hard to put together. So I am splitting them in two. Nemeton III is my Ambient and Celtic Instrumental project and Flame of Inspiration (also on Soundclick.com) is my Progressive Metal project. www.thenemeton.com
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I have been playing guitar since I was 12. I have been recording off and on for many years. I have been accumulating instruments to play over the years such as the Irish Harp, Keyboard, and Irish Flute.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I try make the magic happen in the studio. Sometimes I am lucky enough to get it recorded.
Your musical influences
Classic Progressive Rock like Rush, Dream Theater and Yes. New Age music like David Arkenstone. Celtic music like Danu, Iona, Clannad, Capercaillie and Altan. I am really into Progressive Metal from Europe now such as Leaves Eyes and Epica.
What equipment do you use?
Yamaha keyboard, Ibanez guitar, Boss effects, Sonar recording software, Blevins harp, Dixon Irish Flute, Clarke Tin Whistle
