Dave - Tregoning
Quote of The Week: "From the moment I picked your book up until I laid it down, I convulsed with laughter. Someday I intend on reading it."
Groucho Marx
Buonas DÃaz, I'm Dave, I'm 23 years old and I have recently graduated from De Montfort University in Leicester. I've been studying Music Technology and Innovation there for three years.
I don't originate from Leicester though, I actually come from the legendery town of Bideford in North Devon! I'm currently based in Bideford, but I'm trying to escape to more career orientated places i.e. London for Music Industry and Media related work. But I wasn't born in Devon either, I was actually born in east London in a place called Barking which probably explains a lot! . . . Annoyingly, the hospital I was born in doesn't exist anymore, 'they' ('the evil ones') knocked it down for cheap housing! . . . bastards!
I love writing/playing/recording/producing/listening to music. Im currently the drummer in an indie-rock band called Mendez (check out our band's space at www.myspace.com/mendezrocknroll ) but I also session drum for other bands and music projects etc. Instrumentally, my 'specialised area' is the piano and the drums with a bit of vocals thrown in for good measure, my previous band Juke's site can be found HERE!
If anyone ever needs a Ben Folds tribute act, I'm your man! :D
What else can be said about myself? . . . I love TV comedy and love watching films, pubbing, gigging and . . . er . . . sleeping.
My music project alter-ego site (currently under the name of David Tregoning) can be found here:
www.myspace.com/davemusak
It's just a collection of tracks I've made at uni and at home, kind-of quirky electronic sample based stuff in the same vein as Mr. Scruff and Boards Of Canada etc.
Anyhoo, I'm not gonna bore you all with my complete life story so that's the basics about me. If you want to know more, just send me a message or leave a comment. Peace out y'all.
