Dr Optimiser

About Me

The man behind Dr Optimiser is Neil Garrett. He started making music at the age of 12 playing bass in a few bands and later acoustic guitar, which he still very much enjoys. In 2003 whilst at University he got into Drum & Bass and delved into the creation side of it things. After a while he got to grips with the programs he was using. It's now 3 years later, 8 albums later and there is stil a love for Drum and Bass, but also for Post-modernist combinations of instruments lapsed together in a haphazard way to form a albums that can't always be sumed up. The music on this site is more audiable than other material, but u can order albums for around £5 by Myspacing him, or alternatively downloading free music from www.download.com/droptimiserHe is also in a band called 'In with kate' who make chilled depressing acoustic music.www.myspace.com/inwithkateMore Free MySpace Backgrounds
