Frankenstein's Floor Sweepings
Any effort that has self-glorification as its final endpoint is bound to end in disaster.
Robert M. Pirsig
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I first picked up a guitar at the age of 17, which, distressingly, is well over half my life ago. Whilst I've always loved messing around and coming up with ideas, I'm a bit of an impatient sod when it comes to recording them. Thus, every completed tune on here is the result of a painful and soul-destroying struggle - oh, the angst!
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Due to a lack of co-conspirators, that's not gonna happen any time soon.

Anything else?
This page probably wouldn't exist were it not for and , whose output has inspired me to record my own creations and share them with the world. So, now you know who to blame, release the hounds!
