About Me

Hey - my name is Ant, and I am from a small town called Skelmersdale (near Liverpool/Wigan).

I play bass for a death/thrash/sludge band called Machiavellian, check them out on my friends list if you are interested! My favourite band is Crowbar; and I like extreme music, gigs (both playing and watching), beer, dumb movie/cartoon quotes, comic books, films, my friends, bowling, quazar, playing bass, and my Nintendo Wii!!!

I am currently studying sound engineering at The School of Sound Recording in Manchester/Bolton University and I am interested in post production work and becoming a foley operator or sound designer possibly in the future.

My Interests

Music, Metal, Sludge, Comics, Films, Sci Fi, Horror, Manga/Anime, basses/amps/music related gubbins, Pro Tools, Reason, Jazz, Troma Movies
