About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

ABOUT THIS myspace PROFILE:Though the music on this site is orientated towards my more 'conventional' music activity (folk/pop music.) I try to keep at least one slot free for some of my sound art/experimental output. Eventually, the latter category will be merged into seperate profile (I think.)

ABOUT TLRBorn 1981, lives in Glenelg, South Australia. Has written songs for about ten years and has released two independent e.ps; Safehouse (2003), and Turn Of Phrase (2005). Currently working on a full length album for release sometime this year. Currently studying at Adelaide University as a Masters post grad. Also active as a practicing sound artist.
