Battatutti & the Flipping Bits

About Me


At the age of 15 I bought a drumkit and became a drummer. I guess I still am such a person.
♪♫♫♪ A few years after buying my first guitar I bought another one, and another one, and I am still trying to understand how the thing works. Sometimes the results of my fooling around with the nearby molecules in the air sounded good to me. I even thought that it was worth recording it, so I bought a 4-track cassette recorder. Some of the results are presented here for your ears.
♪♫♫♪ The Flipping Bits Band is living in my computer, just like the Flipping Bits Orchestra. I like to play with them and I will present some of that music soon, here in this space.
♪♫♫♪ As a drummer I played in many bands, to name a few:
    Cheap 'n' Nasty, a legendary punk band. The Perfect Grandmothers, an even more legendary punk band because only a few people have seen them. The Long Haired Kojaks, do I need to say more? The V.O.I.D., the most legendary unknown band I played in.

♪♫♫♪ Then I changed instrument and became a guitar player in:
    The Booze Rabbits, very unfamous. Asbest Uniekaas, a good name to get problems. B.Y.O., old school punk coverband.

♪♫♫♪ Then I had a musical break.
Then I met Mr. McInnes and because he is a nice man and he writes nice music that I wanted to provide with drum sounds, I started to play again, first in Kozmik Chi, which became Purple Void and then it evolved into Zappatika . So, besides being Battatutti, I am also the drummer of Zappatika . It has it's own space here... check it out!
