YOU HAVE REACHED THE WEB PAGE OF MIKE DRYSDALE ITS MAIN AIM IS TO PROMOTE MY OWN MUSIC AND MY THOUGHTS ON MUSIC

MY MUSIC LULLABIES ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS I BEGAN TO WRITE MUSIC AGAIN WAS BECAUSE OF THE BIRTH OF MY DAUGHTER. WHEN SHE WAS BORN I DISCOVERED THAT THE ONLY WIDESPREAD MUSIC AVAILABLE FOR YOUNG CHILDREN WERE THE TRADITIONAL NURSERY RHYMES AND LULLABY DITTIES. THERE WAS NO "REAL" MUSIC UNIVERSALLY AVAILABLE SO I DECIDED TO WRITE MY OWN FOR MY DAUGHTER I HAVE THEREFORE WRITTEN A NUMBER OF WHAT I WOULD CALL AMBIENT OR CHILLOUT PIECES DESIGNED FOR THE "VERY YOUNG" LISTENER. DANCE AS WELL AS THE LULLABIES I HAVE ALSO WRITEN SOME DANCE MUSIC. I HAVE ALWAYS LIKE CERTAIN TYPES OF DANCE MUSIC, MORE THE SLOWER STUFF SUCH AS MASSIVE ATTACK THAN THE 160BPM DRUM 'N' BASS. "ROCK!" MOST OF THESE MORE TRADITIONAL ROCK SONGS WERE WRITTEN ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO! IT IS ONLY NOW THAT I HAVE MANGAED TO RECORD THEM TO ANY DECENT STANDARD (DECENT BEING BETTER QUALITY THAN A SMALL TAPE RECORDER!) MY MAIN INFLUENCES IN THIS FIELD ARE TOOL, SOUNDGARDEN AND JANES ADDICTION, AMONGST OTHERS. CLASSICAL I HAVE ASLO BEEN BRANCHING OUT AND TRYING MY HAND AT CLASSICAL MUSIC. THIS MANIFESTS ITSELF IN SOME OF THE LULLABIES AND ALSO SOME OF THE DANCE MUSIC MY ULTIMATE AMBITION IS TO WRITE SWEEPING BROODY FILM SCORES
