About Me


I'm a musician, graphic designer, artist, music journalist and writer from Melbourne, Australia. Check out my website at www.midnight-sun-design.com to see samples of my design and music journalism work. I'm available for freelance design, illustration and music related artwork by arrangement. You can contact me through the website or through myspace.
I also play bass, sing and write music and lyrics. My current band is Sun Like Blood - www.myspace.com/sunlikeblood. I also write my own music and have plans to produce an EP by mid 2008 when I can finally string all my fragments of ideas together. Previous bands I have played in include Poetry In Violence and The Eternal.
I have also written for Kerrang and Australian Musician and in August 2005 I started writing a weekly metal, heavy rock and dark alternative column called The Maelstrom for Inpress Magazine. Melbourne bands can send news and gig listings to me at maelstrom dot music at gmail dot com and bands from anywhere can mail promo CDs to PO Box 413, Elwood VIC 3184 Australia.
I've also been working on a dark fantasy novel, the first in a trilogy. Add the myspace profile for it at www.myspace.com/the_deathlance_trilogy and check it out.

My Interests

Music, art, illustration, writing,
traveling, going out, live gigs,
AFL football, philosophy

I'd like to meet:


Other musicians, artists, designers, writers, film makers or cool, creative individuals.

Anyone into metal, alternative rock, goth or industrial music.

I'm always open to creative collaborations, musical or artistic.

I also like people who think for themselves, question everything and have the ability to see that there could be a different viewpoint other than the one they are shown.

Music:

Paradise Lost, Iron Maiden, Isis,
Neurosis, Dead Can Dance, Tool,
Fear Factory, Killing Joke,
Cog, NIN, System of a Down,
Deftones, Mastodon, Skyclad
- the list goes on and on..... lots of
metal, alternative, industrial and
goth rock.

Movies:

Blade Runner, Lord of the Rings,
Alien 1-3, anything by David Lynch or
Mike Leigh.
Basically anything twisted, intelligent
or different.

Television:

Red Dwarf, The Office and
The X Files, even though none
of them have been on for a while.
That's about it, because most TV
is mindless rubbish. Especially
fucking 'reality' TV shows, they are
CRAP. I don't know whose reality
they are showing, cause it sure
as fuck isn't mine!

Books:

Anything by William Gibson.
Fantasy and science fiction.
Behold a Pale Horse by
William Cooper.
Fingerprints of the Gods by
Graeme Hancock.
Conspiracy related material.
Music Biographies.

Heroes:

It would be cool to
have a few beers with
Steve Harris from Iron Maiden
and Greg Mackintosh from
Paradise Lost one day!
