Artist description I'm a guy. A regular guy. Like any other. Except I like to play music. Any music will do. I love getting odd instruments and learning to play them. Born in 1976 - which makes me 24. I'm single. Just me. I'm doing a PhD in computer stuff.

Music Style I'll try anything.

Musical Influences Jean Michel Jarre, Eric Johnson, John Williams - take your pick.

Artist History I started doing music back when I was 8 or so. I used to play my grandpa's organ. I then tried doing some squeeky tinny music on my BBC Micro using it's in built sound abilities - which were pretty much nil. A trip to a computer fair in London and I came back with an FM synthesier called the Music 500. It was barely possible to program it, but I loved listening to the Popcorn demo tune. I bought myself a little keyboard and got more and more into music. Early 1990s I was bought a better keyboard, and began doing MIDI on my BBC with the Music 2000 interface. That was fun - having to type in every note separately. In 1993 I got a PC. I started tracking (with FastTracker 2), and in 1997 began went back to my MIDI. In the last 2 years I've been learning the guitar and with the help of Ebay I've bought up some more interesting instruments and started learning those.
