About Me

All of my tracks previously featured here are available to listen to again at gloworldsounds.com ."A Real World" (previously known as "Gutterball") by Vendi & Ward, released by Paradigma Musik of Berlin, Germany on 12" vinyl as the A side of "Ludovic Vendi presents "Changes EP feat. Robotique & Ward"" The EP is available to download at beatport.comLink to video clips that feature what some of us were trying to do at Res Rocket/Rocket Network "back in the day" - online musical collaboration. [My user name there was 'twinhead'].Musical history:
I started off playing bass in a band whilst still at school (when I should have been revising for exams) and started to create my own music once I could afford the equipment. I played in a few Northampton bands, including Directorix, Seven League Red, Magnolia Siege, (the legendary) A Glurk Trolling and also Venus Fly Trap , with whom I got to tour Europe. Composing the orchestrally inspired soundtrack to a video game prompted me to invest in my first PC and it was around this time that I got involved working for Res Rocket/Rocket Network, the original online musical collaborative technology . I was fortunate enough to work with some very talented & creative people, including Tim Bran (Subsonar; formerly of Dreadzone), Sarah Bran , Jay Griggs , Girlie , DB Walker , Ben , Koyote , KBanshee and some bloke called Nursers (I'm joking mate!), as well as meet musicians such as Thomas Dolby, Greg Dreadzone, Tim Simenon (Bomb The Bass), Danny Briottet (Renegade Soundwave) and Brinsley Forde (Aswad). I am currently writing and recording at Studio Gloworld in the heart of the English countryside - keep it rural!.
