About Me
- Skill Level:
- Professional
- Craft:
- writer, musician, educator/teacher
- Instruments:
- electric bass, electric guitar, voice, computer (mac)
I do a lot of sample-based work, using obscure elements from found sound, abandoned albums, guerilla field recordings and public domain multimedia, then write new parts on bass, guitar, keys, vox & computer....
I also write songs which often combine biting guitars, vocal harmonies, literate lyrics, country twang, brit pop melodies and singable refrains plus killer hooks, big beats & guitar hero riffs.
