Phil Partington
I'm just a young guy starting out on his own and having some fun. A lot of this stuff is just demos right now...trial and error stuff. Check back for updates. Feedback is always welcome.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Um, I was born in 1980 and as a little kid, I didn't play any instruments, except for piano (I can play chopsticks and yankee doodle :P). However, I used to use a bandmitten raquet as a fake guitar, pots and pans as fake drums, and a wooden spoon as a fake microphone. Then I would hold concerts in front of my stuffed animals.
Yeah, half of you reading this probably did something similar as a kid, so shut up ;).
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Not really. I have, but not for a while.
Your musical influences
I don't know, really. I've always enjoyed being creative and music was another avenue to do that. My favorite artists are probably bands like Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, The Beatles, REM,...I dunno. I like bands that are melodic.
What equipment do you use?
Just an accoustic or electric guitar, a Fostex MR-8 five track recorder, and occasionally a crappy keyboard I picked up for free. Yeah, pretty amateur, I know.
Anything else?
All feedback/comments welcome! If you hate my stuff, though, please try to be professional in your feedback. Give me some tips on how to improve. I'm just trying to have fun and get better :). Thanks.
