About Me

Welcome to Spivkurl's profile. Here, You will find info and audio related to Spivkurl's solo work, iris-t-shirt, and other We Are Records projects including Noise and Toys Volume 1 a circuit bent compilation. Spivkurl has released a new album as of 13 OCtober 2017 entitled "See I See What You Do."

I have been making music of some sort since the 19-eighties, if you count a casio PT-10 and Yamaha PSS-140. Got into electronic sequencing to some extent in the early 19-nineties, while learning other instruments such as guitar and bass.
