Modern Man is Ultra Quick

My ex-wife fucked Bon Jovi... Seriously.

About Me


A little background... Johnson started listening to black metal when he was 12, shortly after being introduced to the devil by Rush, AC/DC and Black Sabbath. By age 14 he'd extended his listening tastes to punk rock, skate rock and Bela Bartok (a modern classical composer).
16-21 definitely found Johnson in ‘art rock/math rock dork land’ in addition to lending his ears to things like the chanting of Gyuto Monks, the Bulgarian Women's Choir, the instruments of Harry Partch and Diamanda Galas.
He's played the bass guitar since he was 11, played in several bands/types of bands, toured the US and Europe and in 1997 discovered his need to produce electronic music - which he's been doing, releasing records for several years in addition to the occasional film score.
Thank god, he's no longer playing the desk and pen holder on a daily basis, (you never heard anything so god damn annoying).
Somewhere in the midst of all that he graduated with honors from Berklee, had an epiphany that Roy Orbison was enlightened and Hank Williams SR. wrote every song that ever needs to be written about love, loss and drinking. This year (2008), Andy is working on recording a sample library with his dad in-law Hal Blaine. It will cover about 100-150 of Hal's hit songs recorded with bass guitar and formatted for multiple sampler formats.
Andy lives and loves with Michelle and their children.

The cliché about Modern Man is Ultra Quick is that he is a musical chameleon, adapting himself according to fashion and trends. But such a criticism is too glib, there's no denying that MMiUQ demonstrates remarkable skill for perceiving musical trends - and avoiding them.
Bands usually seek to do one of two things: define their genre, or defy their genre. After spending any amount of time assaulting your senses with MMiUQ - it will be clear which camp he falls into. Review 1/11/2007
