About Me

Bit of a creative type making electonica and running my own recording studio called Product23 (you can link to it below). Looking forward to making some real advances in the local music scene in 2007.

Bands we have been working with recently include:
Malarchy
Billy in the Low Ground
5th Suit
Whitehaven
Jammer has also been producing SFX and game music for a Computer Game Project for a small independant game developer called Tizma

I've been making music for longer than I care to remember. Both acoustic stuff and electronica, however I pretty much exclusively produce electronic stuff these days however i'm getting pangs for more live stuff again and getting much more input from other musicians. 2007 is going to see the Product23 studio start which is amazingly-incredibly-bonus-double-good exciting. Its going to have a massive impact on my life and music. A very respectful nod goes out to my studio partner Simon for helping make that happen.

My other musy type MySpace page is here .

When i'm not making music and its summer festival time I help my mate Tyler sell his art from a roving festival gallery. We have a right old laugh, Vix, Mely and Tyler are an amazing bunch of peeps, you may well have seen us wobbling about various festivals flouncing and selling pictures (at extremely competitive prices i might add) ... Check out Tylers stuff on my site Cut The Mustard @ Glastonbury 2005 .


Tylers main web site is here . Go buy some quality art! He does commissions too!! (I don't! ;)Your results:

Lyric of mo! - Duke Special - Freewheel

Save me from the movies and someone else's dreams
While angels make their music and give my spirit wings
I just concertina and wrap around the world
Staying out 'til 6 o'clock and singing like a fool

I've only got this morning to live
Look at all the colours at my fingertips

I don't want to stand still
I just want to freewheel
I don't want to lose this

Save my feet from dancing with anyone at all
Worn out shoes because lotus blue is hanging in the hall
You're a face in the distance I hope to recognise
It's like running through deep water trying to look into your eyes

I've only got this morning to live
Look at all the colours at my fingertips

I don't want to stand still
I just want to freewheel
I don't want to lose this
