Turdboy

About Me

My name's Paul Baker, i'm 28 and from Birmingham, but i've just moved down to Exeter. I've been writing music, making noise and generally experimenting with sound for years now. I've always loved listening to music from a very early age, its something that has been a very important part of my life for many reasons over the years, though i think mainly because it makes me smile :) One of the most exciting things for me is hearing new music, my insatiable hunger for something different and interesting is my driving force. I love sharing music with people, especially if they havent heard it before, because i know how happy it makes me, hence i love dj-ing, although i havent been mixing for as long as i've been writing. Its been so many years now since the name Turdboy emerged in my slightly warped brain that i cant really remember why it came about or even if there was a reason in the first place, i could offer a few possibilities but i dont want to offend or disgust anybody ;) ... well, unless its aurally! I also use the names The Bagpiper and Cumulus depending on the style of my tunes. On the whole though i would say my music has a good sense of humour if nothing else, all be it a rather depraved one at times :) Its no surprise that i enjoy watching a lot of comedy too, my favourites include The League Of Gentlemen, The Mighty Boosh, Nighty Night, Peep Show, Reeves & Mortimer, Bill Hicks, Chris Morris, Steve Coogan, Monty Python, Snuff Box, Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, South Park, Family Guy, American Dad, The Simpsons, Futurama, Beavis & Butthead. I'm really into animation and computer graphics, and how they interact with sound. Anyway, hope you enjoy my music, send me a message for feedback or more information... or just to say hello :)
