About Me

Karandyru is the music project and alter ego of Iban, drummer and now...a composer lol!It all started as part of my studies, just finished a Bachelor in Music, and we'll see where it goes!Furthermore, I'm involved with two more projects: Lunar, The Jazz fusion Band of Yang Oh, a Korean Jazz player that now lives in London. The second is a prog metal band; we are still playing for fun, as we are busy people but let's see what 2008 has to say about it.Allow me to introduce a small bio about me: I was born in Pamplona (Basque country) in 1975 (yeah, that old!). I started learning drums at the age of 21; first being a massive fan of music before heading headstrong into the world of being a musician myself. To be honest, I never thought it could be me one of those guys playing but... you know...After several years of hard work and playing with many local bands of different music styles, a new and exciting chance appeared in the horizon: The chance to study a degree in music, in London. This is the place where i have been living for 3 years now.Apart from drums, I can play little bit of piano and percussion (especially TXALAPARTA) and really enjoy playing all kinds of different styles. Nonetheless, I'm mostly focused on hard hitting drumming hahaha!!!, having performed in bands of (lively) death metal, hardcore, punk, heavy metal, progressive rock, thrash metal…Even so, I try not forget other styles such as jazz, Rock, Latin and reggae and nearly everything under the Sun.I'm always up for a challenge, can u provide one? But most importantly there is that one thing I do at all times: ENJOY MUSIC (and maybe make a living out of it at some point?)Oh! and thanks if you have reached this point so far.Hope you enjoy the sounds! and the pics:) BIO UPDATE'08: HEY HEY FINISHED MY POSTGRADUATE IN MUSIC EDUCATION AND NOW WORKING AS A FULL TIME MUSIC TEACHER IN A SECONDARY SCHOOL. INVOLVED IN A PROG PROJECT ALONG WITH LUCA AND LEWIS TURNER. WE ARE PLAYING LEWIS MUSIC WICH IS BOTH CHALLENGING AND EXCITING... GETTING THE RIGHT DIRECTION AFTER A BLUFF AS SESSION DRUMMER (SOME so called BANDLEADERS ARE JUST PLAIN ASSHOLES YOU KNOW... but hey lesson learned). HAVING VERY LITTLE TIME LEFT FOR MUSICAL PROJECTS (MISS PLAYING JAZZ BUT.....) AT THE MOMENT, I MUST SAY THAT MUSIC IS STILL STRONG, STILL PRACTICING MY DRUMS, STILL PLAYING WITH PEOPLE AND STILL SURVIVING LONDON!!!!!!!! LETS SEE LETS SEE WHERE WE ARE GOING TO END UP:) AGURIban
