Wannabe Composer/Guitarist/Pianist/Vocalist/Engineer

I've broken up all of my tracks into albums:

ATB:Apparently Human (Alt-Rock/Metal/Indie)
www.mp3.com.au/Forms/MediaView.aspx?MediaId=119794
ATB:Apparently Human is the most recent stuff I've worked on. It was originally for the band I was in All the Blind but things didn't hold together. This is most of what I'd call my good stuff. There's still a few tracks not up yet because the vocals haven't been recorded yet. Structurally, the songs were written from a guitarist's perspective. I did my best to finish each track on one instrument before moving onto others.

I think there's a few songs on this album that are a bit radio friendly - particularly Victim of a One Night Stand and Comin' Down. There's also the Crooked County Remix of Don't Wake the Dead by rappers Spittin' Image featured on their mp3.com.au page www.mp3.com.au/spittinimage

I really tried to not have any filler on this album. Favorite tracks would be Don't Wake the Dead, Release Me and All This Sound

GodMusique (Trance/Techno)
www.mp3.com.au/Forms/MediaView.aspx?MediaId=120046
A project I worked on with AJ Mofo around 2004. For me it was an exercise in making my own synth patches. I find it difficult to gauge the level of repitition required for techno/electronica so I think the songs are lacking a little structurally speaking.

My favorites are track 2, 3, 5, 15, 16 & 18 (which was possibly the track that made me write them all). Tracks 5, 7 & 13 are spooky chilled out comedown pieces...

Surgery7:Darkness (Industrial/Metal)
www.mp3.com.au/Forms/MediaView.aspx?MediaId=116166
This was my first attempt at a full production CD. I did it all at home using (by today's standards) crap equipment. Heavily influenced by NIN & Mrilyn Manson's Antichrist Superstar. This album received almost 15,000 plays on mp3.com in the 6 months it was up around 2001 and as a live act fell over over just one show in Brisbane.

Initally I was planning to redo all of my old material but I'm just not as angry as I used to be.

My favorite tracks are Tell Little Johnny and Darkness.

Electronic Noodles (Various Electronica)
www.mp3.com.au/Forms/MediaView.aspx?MediaId=120044
Some film score and sound scapes using synth & samples. Nothing to get too excited over.

Acoustic Noodles (Various Acoustic)
www.mp3.com.au/Forms/MediaView.aspx?MediaId=120181
Acoustic songs or acoustic versions of other tracks.

Sketches, Demos & Jams
www.mp3.com.au/Forms/MediaView.aspx?MediaId=114648
Mostly just demos or old versions of various stuff. Possible cringe factor involved.

Dead Turtles
www.mp3.com.au/Forms/MediaView.aspx?MediaId=120179
Dead Turtles are tracks I really should leave in the bin - they're old recordings I find laying about the place. Be warned - the Dead Turtles sound as bad as they smell! Heavy cringe factor!!

The music I write is determined almost entirely by what I'm feeling at the time and I'll never tie myself down to a specific genre.

I used to teach guitar and I like mixing stuff... So if you ever have any questions on technique or mixing, I'll be happy to give you my 2 cents worth.

One more thing... think of this site as me sitting outside some cyber-station busking... so If you a/enjoy the music, b/have a paypal account, and c/you're feeling saucy, I have added a Donations feature on my myspace page... got a spare dollar or two? Otherwise it's free! Enjoy!
