About Me

ahoi there.
how gans it?

Before I start, why not chuckle at the cheese that is below in video form. It's a video I knocked together in flash of all things, from some footage on my digi cam.
::WARNING - the cheese factor of this video is high, in fact, it is almost of the cheese scale, so beware, those who have allergies to extreme cheese content should simply not press the play button::

well, anything i write in these sections seems to come across entirely differently a day or two down the line. if not boring, then embaressing. so to cut the chase, i play guitar. lots of guitar, although not as much as i should. sound familiar?
at the minute i'm really focusing on the electric, although i love playing nylon and steel string accoustic.
the mandolin i got for last christmas still confuses and baffles me. having said that, i haven't spent an overwhelming amount of time on it as of yet. it's another one on my to do list, but it definately needs to be done, at some point.
I make alot of my music on my own, but also collaborate with friends. I'm in three bands, JiF and 'that other one' known as 'bbc', or ' plutos disappearing act. '

the third is by no means the least significant.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 06/02/2006
Band Members: chaz - guitars, bass, drums, sound effects, composition.
Influences: they're flowing in from every direction.
a handful of examples could be... steve vai, alice in chains, rage against the machine, rem, vision of disorder, prince, jason becker, machine head, phil collins, 311, bach, billy joel, paul gilbert, mr bungle, kt tunstall, led zeppelin, nick drake, faith no more, the police, nine inch nails, viking skull, roxy music, pantera, toto, system of a down, boston, one minute silence, and the list goes on...

¬[ i'm hugely influenced by steve vai, although not through playing style, he inspires me to explore more and play as big a variety of music as possible.
::often through the obsurd, emmerges clarity::
¬[ i think influences, at least with me, tend to come and go. changing all the time, i'll refrain from adding loads of them, because it's really quite irrelevant after awhile.
::influences are surely strong inspiration points, in which case, to re-focus the points frequently, is to explore and excersise your own possibilities::
¬[ a big part of what and who i am today, is down to my parents, unsurprisingly.
i've grown up listening to lots of fantastic music my parents had and still have around. thanks to them, my house has always been a home to pieces of music from so many amazing bands and musicians like the eagles, the beatles and led zeppilin to name but a few.
my parents had and still have great sound tracks and compositions. the war of the worlds in particular always stood out as one of those "...wha?..." kind of "...how?..." type things, if you follow me, if not, probably best not read through it again, it possibly makes little or no sense.
such melodies and atmosphere is unexplainable in such a piece of music as war of the worlds, and almost unimaginable until it's right there, diving into to your ears and racing through your mind.
::everything can be an influence, it's just what we choose to limit ourselves to::
another huge part of me is my incredibly loyal and amazingly supportive, not to mention stunningly beautiful girlfriend, sophie.
she helps me, with everything. my whole life is made for her.

Sounds Like: a mish mash of styles, weaving through neo classical to jazz, heavy metal to electronically manipulated euphoria, thrash to blues and love ballads and on and on.
any genre, sub-genres and barely even catagorised styles of music are all on the menu, it just depends on my mood at the time of writing.

many of the styles you might hate, some you might like, I really play and record my music for my own personal enjoyment, and if anyone else gets a kick out of it, then that's the shit.
