My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 20/09/2006
Band Website: www.masterworxmedia.com
Band Members: Just me. I have a midi studio that allows me to be an all in one production guru! I play guitar, bass, some keys, and my main instrument would be the drums.
Influences: Apple Computer,The Beatles, Killing Joke, MUSE, NIN, David Bowie, Phil Hendrie, Farscape, Art Bell, Jesus and Mary Chain, Bauhaus, Cheap Trick, Refused, Queensryche, the Cult, Depeche Mode, Led Zeppliin, Judas Priest, The Clash, MC Chris, Venture Brothers..this list can go on for several pages..
Sounds Like: COE was hard to define in an easy to swallow genre. Not really industrial, not really alternative, not really classic rock. So can't really help you there. But if you like Tool, Killing Joke or Muse..you might like our style of music.As far as my personal recordings go..I am starting to work on some original tunes that I may post up here later this year. Most of the time, I am writing music for commercials, so I have to provide the client with whatever genre of music they are needing for their project. Keeps it interesting for me musicially!
Record Label: Been on 3, Carpe Diem, Zoo/RCA, and finally TVT.
