I am bassist for Reasonable Doubt ("Competent... solid and chunky" : Kerrang!) see my friends list below or our website. I live in Essex, where I grew up and went to University and all that. Usually regarded as a metal head I'm also a bit of a hippie and a soul and jazz fan to boot. I don't get on to well with the hollow content of most pop acts or the mono tones of modern R & B, but I would never say that any music was shit.
In my current job and through freelancing as JamTribe Studios I have recorded some up and coming bands, follow the link to find out more. The tune that plays on my site will always be something I've recorded, if you like it look up the band or artist and show your support.
Who I'd like to meet: I'd like to meet Rhys Fulber and get some production techniques from him, he just gets the sweetest drum sounds and chunky guitar riffs!
Yus, I Facebook (is that a verb?) occasionally, but that's about it. Am still blogging occasionally but still haven't got into these social-network thangs...
Woah, dude, that's freaky!! when the hell were you doing multimedia systems? Actually, I only turned up to the first and last lecture of every subject and hung out with 3rd years so it's hardly surprising I never saw you :)
I'll have a look around for the leaflet at home. I'm not sure about the web address but if you google snow domes in Milton Keynes you should find it. 'Tis a truly wonderous place.
