THROWING SHAPES
THROWING SHAPES
A colourful, artistic display of electronic and acoustic instruments. Genuine and progressive. Better than a D.J, Electronic music by musician.
'Throwing shapes' is a fusion of styles. Heavy shredding synth lines and intelligent melodic grooves. It has been described as "The perfect sound track for a twisted trip into your own subconscious" and "Murder in space".
The creator of 'Throwing shapes' is Fox Shannon.
Played guitar for 19yrs and drums for 16yrs.
I started using computer in '98 but i've been writing since 1990.
Direction: I am inspired to create a balance between electronic and acoustic instruments that pushes musical boundaries in both melodic and instrumental composition.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Background info: I am currently working on two projects. 'Throwing Shapes' and a heavy funk, fusion band (in which I play guitar) called 'Zybeaf'. We are presently finishing up our presentation package and demos. And it's fast becoming a sleeping
giant.
I've been in many bands but from '92 to '98 I wrote guitar and played drums in a band called 'Elysium'. We played hundreds of gigs all over perth and won several band competitions. In '96 we released our C.D 'Mind Scape' (Embreo Records) and
performed on j.j.j's 'Australian music show'.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
