About Me

I am Joe. I can play the guitar a bit but more recently I have chosen to use machines to make my guitar (and other instruments) playing sound, well, different. It is a constant battle between the organic and the electronic, like in Terminator.I am currently recording my debut album ’the descendents of Ishmael Pearson’ and it is going quite well thanks. If anyone wants to give me a gig that would be amazing.Be nice to each other.Joe x
