THEATRE OF GHOSTS
Who first surfaced way back in the early 90's in collaboration with a friend and his sister wrote a series of demos (which exist today on a dusty old tape) The partnership didn’t last long, after an argument the guy and his sister haven’t been seen since. So what next, let’s enter a demo ta e competition? Having entered and got to the final of a demo tape competition, He was invited to a music show in London to attend the final, With a tascam 4 track tape recorder on offer as the 1st prize, Alas he didn’t win, but got favorable reviews (photo uploaded soon), Then disappeared.
Until now. So what happened??? A next demo was recorded but only one song was saved, (Which appears in the list) called Spaced The demo was scrapped as the other stuff was not all that good And he decided to write normal songs, instead of weird instrumentals, Actually a combination of both, plus whatever came into his head at any given time, for example, one day it would be a dance track, the next an R&B track or an old school stax type track with big horn sections in it etc etc.Most of which still survive today, he kept all the tapes in a safe place.16 years of tapes in a box.......
So the answer to the question is? He was waiting for the technology to catch up with his way thinking, And now with all the software etc, at very reasonable prices, And the birth of new media such as the internet, The world is now his oyster,
But he has have never stopped producing and writing stuff, Unfortunately he is not very good at finishing anything off, But not for long. In the New Year intense recording will begin.
Beginning with dusting off the old tascam tapes and transferring everything useful to hard drive, Then dust off the old Atari 1040, dust off the old disks of which some have never seen the light of day in over 10 years. In fact we reckon that at least a 100 plus songs, pieces of music and scattered ideas exist on all these disks and tape. Mostly composed using old Roland modules, which luckily he still has. And hopefully a giant musical jigsaw, will be constructed of all the relevant pieces hopefully to make credible music
