About Me

Hi All

I was a semi Pro musician in U.K. and Oz covers bands for years. I've been recording my own stuff since about 1980. Started with a Tascam 8, then moved to Cool Edit Pro. I play keyboards and some guitar. My range of genres is rock, electronic, trance and some Jazz.
I got used to the sound you hear playing back-line and I like to build mixes that lean toward that.

Instruments I play

Piano; Organ; Synths; Guitar;

Software I Use

Fast quiet PC; Tascam USB audio interface; M-Audio BX8a speakers; Roland Fantom synth; Hagstrom Viking Guitar; Kohler and Campbell upright piano;
