Non-Toxic
This is my little corner of the web where I feature my recordings. I'm just one guy, who performs each of the instruments one at a time, overtop of each other, producing music that sounds like a band playing together. In most of my songs you'll hear guitars, bass, and drums, all of which I perform and record. I experiment with many different sounds and playing styles, but I still have my roots in alternative rock. Right now, I have yet to record vocal tracks on my songs. This is NOT an instrumental band. Eventually, I plan to create a full-length album, but for now, enjoy some of my recent projects.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I first started playing guitar way back in the summer of 2000. After self-teaching myself how to play, of course with help from friends and relatives, I started wondering how my favourite bands and guitar heroes got the music from their heads on to the vinyls/tapes/cd's. This led me in the direction of music production and how the whole process is done. I couldn't wait to go out to my local radioshack and buy my first 1/4 to 1/8 cable converter, so I could record from my guitar to my computer. This is essentially the same way I still produce my songs, along with the help of amplifiers, pedals, microphones, and computer devices. When not playing with my other band, I experiment and record my own stuff, and this is the result of my solo adventures.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I'm only one guy, so playing live provides some challenges. I would like to in the future, however.
