About Me

AND THE MUSIC STOPPED... but here are some snippets from the archives. i'm a drummer, keyboard tinkerer, atari and pc meddler... the 'frustration dub' demo and 'sfinktafish' are both examples of unfinished pc stuff produced for the safety nett basement gig april 06... 'beefsleep' is a pc remix of the atari tune 'backroom style' which was originally produced under my spoof alter ego 'tingle'... 'tingle midi dub' is some atari and pc spoof tingle-in-dub fun... the only example of drumming available online at this time is some shuffling style stuff on safety nett's tune 'walking on paint' which you can hear at www.myspace.com/safetynett although coming soon will be recordings of my space rock contributions to the electric wing of jamie flett's productions. also the old foliate head 'lpinglo variations' cd is now back online in free, improved quality downloadable form over at www.myspace.com/ifoliatehead if you fancy a listen. credit is due to jamie flett for guitar samples and safety nett for bass samples on 'frustration dub', kathryn pender for german speech on 'frustration dub', 'beefsleep' and 'sfinktafish', lady jude for diva action in the background of 'beefsleep' and finally to g-man for the punjabi speech on 'beefsleep'... remain on (standby)...
