Frequency Flyer

Not your standard psychedelic

About Me

Frequency Flyer is a project delivering dark progressive psychedellic trance and bass with elements of breakbeat and other influences...


..~..-----------------------------..~..


I was one of the first electronic artists in Australia to mix entire sets using two computers - like djing but way more complex. It started way back in 1997 using Digitracker and Impulse Tracker. Back then I was mixing jungle and darkstep under the name jungleG.

Aside from these digital music shenanigans, I am a kit drummer and perucssionist with jazz and classical training.
Currently also working on:

Live acoustic/electric trance crossover outfit featuring percussion and didge. Got a two-track demo in circulation at the moment, and have just started busking around the Melbourne CBD. Must be doing something right, becuase we are making insane amounts of cash from friendly passers-by. Dan (the didge player) and I are also writing some trance tracks together as beds for our live instrumentation.

World's End Press - Progressive Rock outfit - 5 piece band with great songs. Just joined these guys playing kit drums, currently learning the material and writing new songs. Gigs start in May, recording later in the year! Check em out at http://www.myspace.com/worldsendpress


Remixing tracks by KO Star: http://www.myspace.com/kostarproductions and the favourites: http://www.myspace.com/thefavouritesmusic

Apart from that I work as a Graphic Artist and Prepress specialist three days a week.
