About Me


Instruments are wonderful. 7 natural notes are all that make up anything you know (ok, so there are 5 flats/sharps for you audiophiles). Every bit of music and every sound you know. Weird isnt it - how when we deconstruct things that they're so simple and yet so far reaching.A life without music would be pretty dumb.Its easy to compartmentalise yourself and listen to the same old fodder if you like. Thats what charts are for. To tell you what to listen to and what you should like. But it doesnt have to be this way. If a piece of music is crap that is fair enough. For those that open their minds to all that is out there, prepared to step outside the label put upon themselves, the world of music is a garden to be explored.
And that goes for you too!
The question isn't should I like this - but do you like it. I should know. I used to be genristic a long time ago. And believe it or not, my genre was indie rock. Bet ya didn't expect that!
Projects
DVD dreams Project (completed) - 4 tunes to accompany a dream dvd including title tune.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 11/10/2006
Band Members: Steveo
Influences: I lacked an influence if I'm entirely honest. I guess that the people on myspace are my greatest influence beyond my own secular view). I respect it. So many contributors of music and so much to be influenced by. But its not just that. Music, life, parties and people - they're all influences even if it isn't in the form of audio. It's amazing how even a small component of speech can be a building block of inspiration.

In the old days it was rock and Indie that influenced my style of music even if it sat a pole apart. But the beauty of music is that everything is a influence - and being able to appreciate everything musical makes a rounded individual.

My biggest influence just now is different instruments. Such a weird envelope of sound. Extending beyond the standard sphere of preferred sounds and seeing the formations of the inclusions of new ones. Its only now that I see the benefit of brass, wind, string, percussion or vocal. It's there - you just have to see it!

If your a real lover of music - you'll appreciate a bit of everything!
