SEEKING

ABOUT

i no longer perform live, ive pretty much retired that now. so im not really looking to join a band
im moreso looking to collaborate and swap ideas with like minded musicians of any instrument who wanna try something a bit different

I started out making music on the Amiga before bcoming part of the megademo scene as a teenager.... I dont really class myself as a musician, more of a music maker, despite playing this game for 3 decades Im not very good at playing instruments, i learned to make music from sound trackers on the amiga, the grandpappy of the modern daw

I got lucky through trial and error and a lot of being in the right place with the right people, ive had my 15 mins of fame i got a bit of a reputation for remixes and ghosting on the hardcore scene of the 90s thanks to my involvement in the amiga demo scene....
Ive worked with hundreds of artists over the last three decades, including contracts with software houses and media groups to make music and sound for video games, continuity music and fx for tv, film and radio... for the last 10years or so ive been producing sample packs, construction kits and VST patches for vengeance and producerloops

I have no specific preferences with music when it comes to genres, ill often fuse them together to make something new

it would be cool to swap ideas and collaborate with of any genre... lets make some noise together

EQUIPMENT

I dont really need more than a computer, in a pinch i can use a phone or even an old amiga, ive developed web apps for making music.... im 100% software based..
Software I primarily work with Octamed, Renoise and FLstudio.

Instruments I do have (but rarely use):
Yamaha PSR something - a full keyboard
Alesis Q25 - a contoller for hammering out quick ideas and a random usb mic from my kids old singstar game on the playstation 2 to record any vocals.

a few vintage drum machines and sequencers from my live days... and a drum kit thats gathering dust
