About Me

I am a musician working with lots of different instruments and samples I have collected over the years. The tracks often start with a free improvisation or a tune or rhythm that springs from somewhere, often from the acoustic guitar or bass guitar, and then other elements/sounds/instruments are experimented and added or not. I have lots of different tracks in progress currently, and am constantly being inspired by the people, art, music, and generally the world I come into contact with one way or another. Thanks to sister Cat for lending me (years ago) her beautiful voice for little whirly wind albeit in a different form :) and her guitar, to little Christopher and Julzy too for their laughs, to sister Trish for her awsome artwork, and for the loan of her little kalimba and glockenspiel, both of which I have really been mesmerised by lately. Thanks to Lynelle and Lis, for their lovely laughs in a spring thing:). I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 9/22/2007
Band Members: Just me for now, and I will soon put up some pics of the instruments I'm using.
Influences: Life, my family and friends, lots of people, lots of music/musicians - some musical influences of the last few (10 or so:)) years: múm, gimmik, karsten pflum, bjork, way out west, the cure, sigur rós, tom waits, ralf hildenbeutel, explosions in the sky, lots of the music on worm interface, house of 909, lots of myspace friends music, the books, and probably lots that are escaping my mind just now. Otherwise I love most sounds, so I tend to get lots of inspiration from the sounds around me - the rain, the weather, birds and nature sounds, but really any sounds, whether real or synthesised. David bernal, free dance, film, and soundtrack, visual art, books, experiences, memories, thoughts, food, smells and a billion other things.
Record Label: unsigned
Type of Label: None
