I am a musician who lives in Plymouth in the UK who mainly sings and plays guitar. I have been known to dabble in electronic music but my passion is with instruments rather than computers.
I dabbled with guitar and other instruments for a while before getting really into it and setting up Virtual Preserve (an online collaborative music project). Those guys have inspired me and spurred me on to get better and expand my ideas about music.
Update: A few years on from when I wrote the above, I have recorded various songs in Cornish and English, played live a few times and now help young people learn to play music as well!
Theres loads of great bands old and new, it is hard to pick any as influences. My music is influenced by whatever I feel like at the time.
Guitar, midi keyboard and PC with Cakewalk Sonar plus various bits and pieces.
