I used to play in a few bands in glasgow, but it was mostly covers and i got bored playing other peoples stuff. I was allways a keen home recorder with a un-trusty four track, i bought a magazine on computermusic and realised there was more to it than cheesy dance music so, i thought that i would buy a p.c. I got a demo of fruity loops and was amazed that i could own and play near enough every synth i loved(including a mellotron) for free and i wouldn't need a aircraft hanger to store them all!!!!Have you performed in front of an audience?Wouldn't mind getting together with others for a jam, also internet colabarations are welcome!
Your musical influences
Steve Hackett is the guitar god. also like everything progressive and almost everything else.
I dont think there is any bad music, it's just a matter of tasteWhat equipment do you use?
cubase sx, FL studio, lots of soft synths. Evolution midi controller.
ibanez and Gordon Smith guitars. Terratec DMX 6 fire, amplitube, guitar rig, cortex, rusty old stomp boxes and a crap internet desk top mike!!!Anything else?

Hi Colin,
I fou8nd your page and really enjoyed your music. I especially liked "Smoke". Great work!
Slainte mhath!
KenHi Colin,
Just stopped by for a listen and discovered some tunes I hadn't heard before (5th of never & peace at last)..excellent music (as expected!)
Also, I only just noticed the female vocals on 'Dreaming on a minor C'.. are they synthesized ? I wonder what you used.. it's very convincing..
Terry (The 'Ebow Lamenter' )Hi sparky (if we can call you that)
We really liked "in the evening". Nice guitar sound and melody, though perhaps the drums need a little attention? Perhaps you could pop over to our page and listen to a few tracks? If you like instrumentals there are a couple (Dies Irae and Malicious Demon); otherwise "Me shaped box" and "Detroit Station" might appeal to you
Regards
Julian and MartinHI There! i was looking for fellow Ozric Fans and came across your music.
Very cool tunes i love Smoke.

Just had a listen to your latest three.. All very good , well performed and nicely mixed. The sustain you get out of your guitar is pretty amazing. I've been toying with the idea of getting a Fernandez electric to get this kind of sound. I wonder what your trick is ? Anyway, keep it up !
