MAQ

Standing On The Verge Of Getting It On

About Me

The Modern Art Quartet (or MAQ) grew out of an on going art project called The Fine Art Service industry. The objective was to create music and ambient sounds for the opening night of art exhibitions and other arts related events. The music was especially created to complement, happy banter, networking opportunities, and the chink of the wine glass. However I am now moving into playing music gigs and also creating sound pieces that complement buildings and certain spaces of historical or architectural interest. www.thefineartserviceindustry.com I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
