The Intergallactic Urangutang

Weird music taking you to weird places

About Me

I am a one man noise making monkey man, you can call me Tang or The Urangutang. I create the sounds that go on in my head as I let them become reality on the keyboards, drum machine, guitar (s), basses (including a nice homemade Winnie The Pooh biscuit tin soundbox, strimmer wire strung, 4 string upright bass), reed instruments, wind instruments, reed-wind instruments, percussion, and what have you straight into my 4 track and maybe a few effects to make it nicely nice (or nasty if you see it like that). I am not saying I'm a great musician, or that my tunes are always melodic or unpretentious, I just experiment with those sounds in my head, and relay them out to you for your aural pleasure, displeasure and indifference (and any other thoughts and feelings you may encounter from listening to these noise experiments), if you listen, you will hear those thoughts of yours, don't fear.....Increase the peace brothers and sisters........
