Hi. Thanks for looking at my page!I have always been into music for as long as I can remember, trying to listen to as many different people, bands and genres as I can. I love it all!I have been playing guitar since I was 10....got my first electric back in '94...playing AC/DC and Iron Maiden till I was blue in the face! Back then, I wanted to play like the legendary Dimebag Darrrel of Pantera. Now, after 14 years of playing, I have my own style, which I am happy with.I first heard dance music in around '96 - Happy hard core. Something seemd to click inside and almost overnight stopped listening to metal and started with "rave". As most kids do, I got some decks and a stack of vinyl...and dreamt of being the next Judge Jules or Pete Tong. Hard house emerged and I was hooked for a long time.More recently I have started playing guitar again, but with more passion and experiementation than before. I still like dance music, but have moved towards hard techno and drum n bass. The tidy trax cds still get a listen now and again though!In a mad moment in '06 I bought a computer music magazine and after reading though it would be cool to try and write some tunes. I used some free software for a while, which was good but not really "instant" enough for my creativity...I think this has come from being a guitarist - i can just pick it up and play rather than have to set a ton of things up first before I get a note. Now i use professional equipment and software and the ideas just keep on flowing!So far I have written countless intro's and snippets of potential tracks, most of which will not ever be made into full tracks, this page is for the ones that do get finished.Im also on Reverbnation as The Moose.... :)Thanks for listening PT
