Speedyjx - New Song!

"The Hallway" now available!

About Me

Demos are in the Blog!
Basically, I'm using this to fire up random songs, be them improvisations when I'm bored or full blown compositions, if I can be bothered.
A little bit about me: I've been playing for about... 9/10 years or so, self taught mostly, although it doesn't show that much. At present moment my gear set up is:
Korg Triton LE
Korg N364
Alesis Micron
Novation KS4
Roland JV-2080
Roland SonicCell
Propellerheads Reason
And if things go my way it'll get bigger :). If some one would like to buy me a Mellotron for me as well, it'd be most appreciated. I also sing on occasion, mainly when no one can hear me, but sometimes they do. Gotta love being a baritone though :D.
Music aside, I am presently a second year student studying for my BSc Computer Games Development at Caledoian University. So there ^_^.
Bands I play in:
Beyond Despair
Burning Earth
Alba Gu Bráth
Moon Balloons

Influences: I listen to lots of stuff, mostly metal, but I have the occasional notion for classical, jazz and J-rock. But never emo, or "metal"core for that matter. So yea, they may be called influences.

If you wish to know a few specific references as to what I attempt to do, musically or otherwise:

Akira Yamaoka
Nobou Uematsu
Buck-Tick
Enslaved
Tenhi
Ishiwatari Daisuke
Duncan Patterson
Arcana
Antimatter
Flood of Rain
Trama Afona
Kadenzza/You Oshima
Emily A. Saaen
Peccatum
Atrox
Manes
Ulver

Also this might give you an idea:

Sounds Like: Vibrations in the air hitting off drums in your ear to be converted into electiral signals which are then transmitted to and deciphered by your brain.

OR!
