About Me

Myspace Layouts by Pimp-My-Profile.com

I make strange & beautiful music whilst overlooking the sea. I've recorded two Albums under my pseudonym Victor Malloy, collaborating with singer/songwriters Kenny McCracken and Fionn Regan, along with lots of other musicians. Malloy is a charector I created to write music under, because who am I to write music. I've only lived half of one lifetime, Victor Malloy has had many. I collect sounds, and can sometimes be spotted roaming the streets, snatching soundbytes to twist and use later in my music. I once recorded an over excited prostitute who had left her window open in the flat above me. She ended up featuring on my first album. No one is safe. I like to do music for films. It's nice having something visual to write to. You can buy victor malloy at itunes.com if you do so wish. I also record under my Cuban alter ego 'Hugo Malodoro'. Maldoro means Bad Gold.

My Favorite sounds

Some of my favorite sounds: Crunching in snow, boat masts clinking in the wind, cars whisping accross a wet road, ice cracking when you pour drink onto it (sounds best with whiskey), stretching cling ...
