Hello.

I make music.

You can listen to it here:

As you should be able to hear, I like distorted drums.

Well, I have also recently discovered a fondness for live performances.

So far, I have only done one supporting Internet Forever and prior to being offered that show I had no interest in performing. I did it alone with my laptop playing backing tracks, me playing my guitar and singing, and a video artist projecting videos onto me.

What I'm looking for now is to start a band consisting of me on guitar and vocals, three/four keyboard players, maybe one bass player and two electronic drummers (if you've listened to the music on my MySpace then this line-up should make sense).

By 'electronic drummer' I mean someone playing either a drum machine with pads through effects like distortion and EQ or MIDI pads and a laptop with effects.

However, if you like my music and only own a (MIDI or non-MIDI) keyboard with a good variety drum sounds then please reply, too.

I also don't mind lo-tech equipment.

All I really require is a genuine fondness for the music and enthusiasm. Everything else can be worked out later.

With regards to actual performances, I'm emphasising quality over quantity; i.e. I prefer to play four semi-prestigious shows a year, each one more prestigious than the last, to constantly playing anywhere to anyone.

Feel free to ask me any questions.
