--------------------------
I'm Chris Fordham, a 21 year old multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, producer and songwriter. I'm currently writing and recording my own songs and performing the occasional gig around the county. Alongside my songwriting I also produce experimental and instrumental music under the name 'The Silent Committee'. I also play bass for the band Enki.
In 2008 I self-released my debut album 'Time Between Us'. Currently the album is unavailable but I hope to correct this soon. In the meantime the album can be heard on my Last.FM profile or on the player below. Selected tracks are also available as MP3 download from Indiestore.
I'm also looking to do session musician work, I play bass, guitar, mandolin, harmonica, autoharp, drums, keyboard & do basic drum programming.
Previous recording sessions include bass for Dave Clemo, Doubleshot, Dan Higgins, Chris Browne & Wild Grace. I have performed live with the bands Enki, Doubleshot/The Alcoholics, Texas Flood.
I'm also happy to undertake various production and audio mastering roles. Earlier this year I mastered a couple of recordings for Dichotomy Incarnate, and did the final mastering of the compilation album 'Nexus Of Revolution'

Greetings, Chris, thanks for a kind response. I listened and considered your world, and have found in it many acquaintances close to me of things. Probably, you are very similar to me when I was 21. I can name it "to be born from the small world". Probably, you understand that I wish to tell. Now this my world has grown, but it is from a grass grew. Thanks, forgive for my English. Sincerely, Victoria
