Mr Glide

About Me

Awright,

My real name is Nick. My unofficial name is Mr Glide. I'm a layabout, an obsessive tinkerer, and, occasionally, a malcontent.

I've messed about with, variously over the years, a Commodore 64 music making programme, a one-track cassette player, a Fostex 4-track and a low-end Mac G4 with a horribly antiquated version of Logic. Which, incidentally, I am still using. I have been making music a long time, and plan to do so for much, much longer than that.

The most recent missive is the album I made for FAWM 2008 in a mere 29 days, called 'Chorine'. That's why the production is a bit arse. Well, that and the fact I plundered my hissy old tape recordings for samples...

Cheers!.

Nick

Glide is also in another band called Fine Excuses
