   About ALBA BEAT
Photobucket Hello people and welcome to the ALBA BEAT myspace page, here you can read a short Biography about my musical History. ______________________________________________________ Gary Taylor aka Alba Beat, I'm a Electronic Solo Artist, based in Birmingham/Reykjavik, I started making music from an early age, inspired by the original music of the time, Punk, New Wave, Metal, Reggae, Electro, Pop, Disco, Funk, etc, playing rhythm's on cardboard boxes and tins writing lyrics and singing with friends in my parents Garage (we all wanted to make a break in to music scene even back then, the late 70's), from there on in i played on whatever Home keyboard, Organ, Piano, that was available, always dreaming of Synthesizers, Studios, being known for my music. ______________________________________________________ In the 80's over some time i carried on making music with friends at home on simple old School Yamaha and Casio keyboards (you know the ones with a button for Drums and Fills), we also added taped recordings of cool phrases from classic Video Films of the day (yes it was old school and its called Sampling and Editing now), this was another new start to my creative approach making music, I also started DJ'ing around this time, Scratching records, Mixing up Tapes and general madness on two Turntables which is still involved in my work from time to time. _____________________________________________________ Then came the 90's and i worked and played hard and bought my first Home Studio, working under the banner of Solid Dawn i built up a good back catalogue of ideas and Demos all the time working harder on my DJ live set performances, this is where i really learnt what music was all about, People, Gatherings, inspiration, new technology, attitudes and different approaches to making music, for that time it was yet another perfect building block ; ). _____________________________________________________ When the Millennium crashed in i started teaching myself more musical skill, everything about the musical process i could possibly find out about, i went back to college to learn about Music Production, Engineering, now the time is right for people to hear my Sounds, with the added confidence and mobility the Internet brings i've started The Alba Beat project up, you see a form of it here now on Myspace. _____________________________________________________ So there we have some of my Musical development in a nutshell, there really is so much much more to tell you, that said I'm sorry this Biog didn't last that long or not, I do hope you will enjoy my Musical creations, and i will stay in touch as often as possible, prepared, Peace, Gary, Alba Beat x. _____________________________________________________
