About Me

I am Chard, aka Rick Burton. I've been writing tunes since Nov '05 using Fruityloops 3 and various plug-ins on my PC at home. Thanks to Mouse of Dirty Fire Project for hooking me up with all the necessary stuff.Unfortunately, for the past year writing has had to be put on hold for work commitments, and as that fell through in January of this year, my PC also packed in.I'm currently travelling around the world with my wife for the next year and have been on the road for just over 6 weeks and having a great time. Log on yo www.getjealous.com/slimshaz to check out blogs and progress. Would be great to hear from you!!I generally write trance/techno tunes and try to produce stuff that I would enjoy listening to myself but I am still learning how to get the best out of the programs to get the sound and feeling that I want, although I like to try my hand at some ambient tunes for a change and with Ambiosis, I think I did pretty well for a first attempt! Some of the tunes that will appear (Yellow Pagers in particular) will be a collaberation with my best mate Jester (ex Havok DJ in Manchester) and when we get together, we go by the name of Project Q. Why Prodject Q? Well, why not?! So, sit back and relax and have a listen and any comments you have would be most welcome and appreciated. Enjoy!
