Octavius Wah is just a silly nickname an old friend gave me. Perhaps because im a somewhat eccentric geezer into electric guitar's and fx. For my real job I'm a theatre technician who works with lighting and AV. Some years ago I made a living as a composer/sound designer for television and theatre and some of my old stuff still gets played on the telly. I've been out of the loop with that world for some time but I still love playing music . But even so I find the practice of writing soundtracks for non existent films a little depressing. In recent years I've instead been writing songs. My songs keep me in practice and amused though sometimes they just want to exist for there own sake. I've always had a thing for girl singer rock bands and I played in few when I was younger. That was some time ago but I still enjoy writing and recording girl rock stuff.
These tracks were mostly recorded in a Newtown flat and feature a few different drummers and vocalists. besides the drums I play all the instruments here . There just unmastered home demos though I've gone to more trouble with some than others. I tend to get a bit sloppy with recording when it's not for proper release and I really do need someone to point a gun and make me do another take sometimes. ..The Dustshadows and The Mark Atkins Experience, on top my friends page are some other musical projects of mine. Outside of music I enjoy travel , snorkeling and bike rides through the countryside.
