Jack Trainwreck
Jack often never sleeps, creating his warped opus' by hand, often in complete darkness. Many of his compositions will never reach those using Soundclick, due to their mammoth lengths. Jack suffers from a disease known as slow hand syndrome (SHS) which cause him to have a natural aversion to potato's and these potato's entering his blood stream.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
The 80s were a time of neon Disco decadence, cocaine and children slitting their wrists over the lost Atari game. In the later period of this era a child was born, causing a mess that could be only likened to a train wreck. Very soon after this mess was cleaned this child, or train wreck, would soon obtain a device that made distorted animals noises. The child had a particular liking of the distorted lion roar. He would press the button constantly until his birth parents could stand him no more. They separated the child from his plaything and kept him in isolation in a dark room. When the child, who now know is a boy, was released he lead a troubled life and several breakdowns later he discovered a program called Fruityloops. This website is a chronicle of his progress using Fruityloops.
