About Me

'Hy' AKA Hylas de Niall, AKA N Stuart Green. 41 yr old fiddler with sounds and looper of samples.
Born Higham Ferrers, Northants. 11th of December, 1967.
Lover of: Art, Music, Films, Naked Ladies.
Believer in: The God & Goddess, Left Wing Politics, Speaking out against perceived ills, Standing up and being counted for my beliefs, Getting my feet on the street and demonstrating whenever necessary.
Played around with tape loops in the 80's had fun with a home-made kind of scratch effect too. never persued it.
This century I started messing around again thanks to the wonders of the silicon age and, initially, the e-Jay software, in the last few years I have taken to using Ableton Live for the compositions I make.
As for what i enjoy listening to, I'm starting to listen more and more to the guitar bands again ;), and I'm still in the process of replacing all my old (lost) vinyl with CD stock.
