About Me

Hi,
here are the usual funky, beaty, modal, fractured, foot-tapping, dub style,mid tempo , jazzy, shamanic, psychedelic, middle of the road stuff in varyingtime signatures. There are more tunes on www.angstrom.timeshard.com if you like theones up there ^.
There's more where that came from.
You can buy my album on iTunes, but MySpace is totally shit and disables my links to iTunes ! So please visit my website if you want to find a link to buy my albumthe alternative would be to attempt to buy it off Amazon MP3, but you will be required to Live in the US of A for that to work out. Anyway ... buy Angstrom music on my websiteRecently I've been make my own instruments both 'real' and software, junk instruments with pickups linked to custom written software. I'm experimentinga lot with melding the two.
It's a lot of fun and gives a much more humanistic input to creating music, bending a plank which alters some artificial resonances. Anyway, it allows meto control the performance a lot better than just using a keyboard / foot controller setup. I feel it's a step forward in bridging the electronic / natural chasm.
None of that featured here though!
Anyway, as you were asking about history...
I used to be in a band called Timeshard connected to the whole Planet Dog / Megadog thing in the Uk. Wewere label mates with Eatstatic, Banco de Gaia, children of the bong, people like that . Of historical interest to some possibly.
After that I set up a web-label with the other Shardians, distributing Liverpool acts via the electrickery, rather badly. We were at least 5 years too early withthat venture, it mainly meant : when the bands didn't deliver on time we had to inventnew acts and genres and hastilly record as them . Really quite goodfun, but perhaps a little too educational on the harsh realities of music & commerce!
After a long aeon at the pointy end of the biz, IE carying flight cases full of synths up rainy welsh/belgian fire-escapes, I took a back seat. So, now I just goto the after-parties without doing the actual gigs, it's a lot easier.
Generally, I've plonked myself in the studio making tunes for my ownamusement.
