Glen Davies
Writer of both word and song, Ive spent countless hours in my life playing music and creating the sweet stuff. I have over the years learned a great deal about the musical process in composition. This is the perfect venue for me to share some of my works with those interested. My studio is not to make recordings, but to make music... therefore, love it or leave it, cut it or cleave it, hug it or dump it, straddle and hump it..... It is what it is and it's true from the heart! I'm proud of my work...please enjoy, or not.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
1988 - The Shivers... 3 releases, lots of fun and a tremendous learning experience.
1991 - (Dynamo Hum) or Friction Love Corps... 1 release, Heavier and an all round pleasure to have been part of.
1994 - Hot soul food... no releases, but lots of shooters! Great fun.
1997 - I left the bar scene, sobered up, bought some software and just wrote songs for me... truly eye opening experience in the realm of clarity in composition... I found my hidden abilities as a solo writer...
2002 - My old drummer from Shivers and FLC got me into the band thang again. We formed 'BLUSH' and took some of those songs I wrote in my sabbatical and made a recording release in 2003... we won competitions, got a licensing agreement and now I'm out of the performing band and behind the scenes; a ghost writer for the willing to tour (HOOOOOO, scary shyte!). So now I've become a bit of a co-writing whore for other players in the city. I compose with tons of people and it's most enjoyable! But for the most part, I spend my time in musical masturbation mode, rather on my own. I'm currently looking to put together another band to flex my blue balled performance muscle...
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
currently, no. But I have lived the life of a touring musician for a decade and a half, that 15 years I played live and had 100's of 1000's of special moments...
Your musical influences
British Art Rock... (BAR!) #1, Peter Gabriel. Genisis, Zepplin, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, ELP, Yes, Monty python... etc.
What equipment do you use?
a PC, a mixer with phantom, a large diaphram condenser mike, drum loops, bass, guitars, breath, textures and passion.
