About Me

It's time to dabble in the ocean of sonic bliss again...too long have I sat on the shores, listening and watching the waves. Its time to make my own!I have the beast, its name is Renoise . And a wonderfully frightening thing it is. Having paid it its dues (meaning I am registered!), I now need to feed it, morsels of potential, that I may wrestle from it the digital waves that may quench my thirst. OMG, have I mixed enough metaphors here? What I would like to be doing is finding some samples and VST Plugins (synths, effects, whatnot) that I can use to try crafting some sweet chill from.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

A bunch of musicians in Britain, Sweden, France. Heck I'd just like to see them, but they rarely if ever tour on this side of the pond. My travels will have to expand beyond the shores of North America. A summer of music festivals might be in the works!
