Hi
My interest in music reaaly started when I saw the Beatles movie "A hard days night" on TV when I was 12 years old. It took a while to talk my parents into buying a guitar, but a year later I started playing the Beatles songs I liked so much. Two years later I got my first electric guitar and I joined a local band with three other guys. We all thought we were close to heaven. At about the age of 17 my musical interests changed from mainstream rock-music to more progressive stuff like Yes, Pink Floyd, Genesis(1970 to 1974) and most of all King Crimson. My bandmates did not like this kind of music as well and so our band split. Long years I played all by myself but I had a lot of ideas in my head that could not come out. In 1998 I found a computer software that let me realize all my ideas. Harmony Assistant. That is a composing and arranging software that comes with a 1st class soundbase so now I could play all the instruments that I never had the money to buy. All the music you find here is created with the help of the computer. No real instruments, no real voices. I hope you enjoy listening to it.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
No. But I am looking for people I can play with. I would really like to present my music live.
Your musical influences
King Crimson, Robert Fripp, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, The Who, Clannad, David Crosby, Neil Young
What equipment do you use?
A 1964 Gibson SG Junior, a Fender 30 amp, my computer with the software "Harmony Assistant".
Anything else?
