About Me

I'm a 22 year old music fan from the Midlands who happens to play a little bit and this 'space is a bit of an outlet for my musical ramblings. I guess what i try to do is take the little bits observed from the world around me and attempt to conjure them into some sort of musical form. Like some sort of wizard.. well, more clumsy apprentice than wizard. Think Mickey Mouse in Fantasia who attempts spells and begins to make things happen, but can't quite follow though without looking like a biit of a muppet. That's pretty much me. Not quite a wizard yet, but by mimicking others and stealing pointy hats i'd like to think i'm slowly getting betterer. Soon i'll be able to strike enemies down with a big looped lightning bolt from my amped violin. I'm working on it right now so watch out. ZZzapp!

Currently workin' on some strings for the following:
Of Death And Fiction
Sad Lisa
Scott Davis
