DJC de la Haye

* FIRST FULL-LENGTH ALBUM COMING SOON! : 2 abstract modal bass parts coalescing to form twenty two introspective miniatures *I was born in Jersey, Channel Islands, back in 1981. A short flight took me to Leeds College of Music where i studied electric bass on the Jazz & Contemporary Music degree. I discovered a love for electronic music-making with the excellent, but now defunct, Cosmonaut. But they wouldn't put up with my free improvising, so i joined other bands too, namely the awesome funk outfit, Gallo. The alternative crowd ensured that i had a ball for the entire 4 years whilst i wasn't playing - just what i needed after 17 years on my little (but still very much appreciated) island. Loads of alcohol and unusual dancing... //Moved up to Newcastle University in 2003 where i studied for a Masters in Contemporary Composition focusing largely on 'Glitch music' and its use in live music/improvisation. I graduated in 2004 and have since enjoyed playing with as many acts as possible to fulfil my desire for music-making! I've composed a couple of soundtracks, performed and recorded with great free-improvisers, such as Paolo Angeli, Pat Thomas and Gwilly Edmondez, confusing audiences from Newcastle to Paris. I make people stomp their feet as the bassist for the infectious music of Maybe Myrtle Tyrtle. I appear at Folk clubs and festivals playing with Shona Mooney Trio and Jez Lowe and the Bad Pennies. And now i also run Canopy New Music, a music organisation supporting New/Experimental music-making and learning in the North of England in whatever way we can//That's enough. I hope you enjoy looking around. If you come to one of the gigs, do say hi. I'm very friendly. D* .I get myspace layouts at UltimateMySpace.com. Get this layout
