I am looking for collaborators on solo stuff that I'm working on. I haven't got a good voice, but am pretty proficient at guitar, keys, bass, programming and engineering/production, so I'm mainly looking for songwriting partners, vocalists, multi-instrumentalists and percussionists to work with. Just about anyone, eh?
I was raised on early rock and roll and soul, and moved on to 70s art punk and British roots punk, and love 60s-70s reggae. I also like quite a bit of Glam and a little Goth and Sytnhpop if it's up to par. These days I listen to all of it.
I work mainly in Tracktion3, use some outboard synths (Juno60, Yamaha tx81z and Kawai K4), and have a home project studio. I own a 1968 Guild Starifre III, which is my pride and joy. Thanks seedy pawnshop!

- Favorite Lyric:
I missed the fourteen-eighteen war
But not the sorrow afterwards
With my father dead, my mother ran off
My brothers took the pay of hoods
The twenties turned the north was dead
The hunger strike came marching south
At the garden party not a word was said
The ladies lifted cake to their mouths
