Hi!
I'm a largely self-taught muso-type bloke with a passion for making music that's good and different in parts and familiar in other parts! Hope you enjoy!
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I began playing guitar 20 years ago and began to become interested in recording (using the old twin cassette decks). I then got into 4-tracks and then 8 and now I've gone digital. I play guitar, bass, keyboards, mandolin, percussion(well I shake a mean tambourine) and harmonica. I just like doing "organic" music with whatever takes my fancy at any time.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Nope, just a bedroom musician. I play it all myself. Have played live in bands once or twice but prefer the "studio" atmosphere!
Your musical influences
Beatles - you can learn a lot about songwriting and recording from reading their recording history book. I love slightly left-of-centre music that goes where you don't expect!
What equipment do you use?
Korg Keyboard. Zoom Digital Recording Machine. Fender Telecaster/Stratocaster/Jaguar, Rickenbacker 330, Tanglewood Accoustic and Violin Bass. Two hands and one brain.
Anything else?
Not much, just hope you like my stuff.
