Colin J S Music

The road to a tune starts with the first note...

About Me

I used to compose music on a family piano... every now and then I get the urge to string a few notes together, and now I have decided to submit my creations to the great assembled throng of MySpace readers. I hope you at least have as much fun listening to it as I did creating it.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 1/29/2007
Band Members: Just Me... Colin J. S.
Influences: I suppose my influences must be more or less the same as the artists I like to listen to, although perhaps there are a few that I don't really listen to much but respect as creators of music. Here's a sample:

Pop/Electro/Punk

Kraftwerk / Mike Oldfield / David Bowie / Marc Bolan / the Sex Pistols / the Stranglers / Siouxsie and the Banshees /

Reggae/Ska

Prince Buster / Desmond Dekker / the Skatalites / Dave and Ansel Collins / Jimmy Cliff / Prince Far I / Linton Kwesi Johnson / Dennis Brown / Black Slate / Misty in Roots / Bob Marley and the Wailers / the Specials (formerly the Special AKA) / Damien Marley

And as you may have noticed a classical element creeping in to some of my tunes I ought to mention the classical composers that I like best:

Ludwig van Beethoven / Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart / Johann Sebastian Bach / Edvard Grieg / Gustav Holst / Johann Strauss the Younger

There's a lot of traditional music around whose composers are lost in the mists of time... great stuff... for instance, The Irish Rover... performed most famously by The Pogues & the Dubliners, but does anyone know its origins?
Sounds Like: I leave that as an exercise for the listener. If you tell me, I may quote you here.
