About Me

My name is Andy Slatter.I'm a 38 year old musician based in the northwest of England.I started playing guitar and bass 23 years ago,along the way I also became interested in music technology/programing,keyboards,percussion,and various folk instruments.I like to use a combination of real acoustic instruments and various soft synths/instruments in my compositions.I play:guitar,bass,fretless bass,fretless guitar,mandolin,ukelele,djembe,bongos,bohdran,keys,violin(ba dly...lol!!)and a variety of small percussion.I love prog rock/metal,as well as orchestral,electronica,dance,d'n'b,folk,world,jazz,fusion,le ftfield.....in fact,there aren't many types of music I really dislike.Some bands/composers who I like listening to are:Rush,Dream theater,ELP,Zep,Lizzy,Opeth,Porcupine tree,Cardiacs,Sex Pistols,Strawbs,Yes,Druid,Aphex,BOC,FSOL,Mozart,Morricone,Pr okofiev,Bach,.......the list goes on. I have recently attained a diploma in media composition after over two years of study and working on real life practical assignments working on briefs for film,tv,corporate video,games,animation,advertising etc.Have recently had a couple of tracks(from my slatsmeistergeneral profile)placed on the new sci-fi film "The paralyzing agent" produced by Gene and Wendy Greenlees.I'm very keen to work on more film/tv/game/advertising/corporate projects,so if you like my music and want an original score please get in touch.I also write music for online music libraries.Please see my"slatsmeistergeneral"profile for my electronica based music.
