About Me

I'm a little guy who likes to get weird, and I somehow manage to distill the sounds in my head onto magnetic disc. If you like it, let me know and I might just make you a little cd.Also, if you've been to the Hermit in Brentwood in the last couple of years, you'll have seen me working the sound desk there, every fucking Friday night. If you need a sound engineer, get in touch.Say hello. x"The teenage years are invariably a time of self-discovery; a formative stage where opinions are made and generally henceforth upheld. A huge number of teens seize this opportunity to discover the music of their fathers and forefathers, often to deliberately appear obscurely underground, sometimes competitively evolving into pricks like Ross.Jack was no exception to this movement, and cites Hendrix and Led Zeppelin as major influences at an early age, readily absorbing the frequently abrasive but ever tuneful guitar experimentalism that such bands had to offer.After igniting a long-lived audio affair with Radiohead by lavishing hard-earned pocket money on the genre-mashing OK Computer in 1997, he started to make music (or 'music' as some prefer to title it).By combining the organic resonances of the small throng of guitars and assorted paraphernalia that littered the suburban art-house he resided in, and the binary machinations of a personal computational interface appliance, he composed challenging pieces such as the excellent, ambient meanderings of Auxinbeth, to the uncompromising rhythmic splatters of Revolution (live in France), which to this day remain unrivalled in their eminence.By the time the millennium had seductively thrust its technological advances fully down his throat, Jack was ready and willing to experience the power of DRUGS for the first time and consequently had the best gig experience of his life so far seeing (local talent) Red Jetson, where, he claims, "the music was good". It must have been, for the young compositeur prodige continues to absorb, assimilate, process and evolve, onwards and outwards."by toby"you're honest brutally sometimes he is a good judge of character, however most of the time this does not work in his favour he has the ability to gain some level of high respect and despite everything he does, he manages to maintain this if only he realised what he was capable of if only he stopped trying to cling for things that weren't there the potential is immense if only he could see that"by sian
