Bio
Hi all, .. .. Welcome to my virtual simulation. .. .. I am very fortunate to have played drums and/or cymbals with many magnificent artists including Matt Finish, Newtown Beats, Adrian Belew, Dale Barlow, Guy Le Claire, Jackie Orszaczky, Eddie Quansah, Champion Jack Dupree, Mick Taylor, Roy Buchanan, Mal Eastick, Stevie Wright, Keith Urban and Olivia Newton-John (ok, I only mimed with Olivia). .. .. I'm also an avid keyboardist, analog synthesist, samplist, composer, arranger and engineer and I've taught music and music production, conducted clinics and workshops, produced ARIA Award winning and number 1 independent albums and soundtracks for film, tv, theatre and answer machines. .. .. In the music player: .. .. 1. AUSCO - That's me on drums with Matt Finish plus Jason Morphett on sax and David Wilson performing Guy Le Claire's wonderful jazz-fusion track. .. .. 2. KINGS CROSS SOLO - This was recorded live at Sydney's Kings Cross Festival in 2004 with jazz guitarist Maurice D'Abruzzo. .. .. 3. SOFTLY AS IN A MORNING SUNRISE - Dale Barlow and I rearranged this jazz standard for electronic instruments featuring outstanding vocals from Dale (his first lead vocal recording!) and mother and son duo Wendy and Kayci Dorsett. .. .. 4. ANGEL EYES - Another jazz standard Dale and I rearranged and performed unstandardly with Wendy and Kayci. .. .. 5. WE DO WHAT WE DO - An electronic extravaganza Dale and I created with an exceptional vocal performance by Wendy. .. .. 6. BADJELLY FINALE - When my beautiful daughter Isabel landed the lead role of Rose in the New Theatre's 2006 and 2007 productions of Spike Milligan's 'Badjelly The Witch', I made this to really scare all the little kiddies - there wasn't a dry seat in the house! .. .. I also hope you enjoy my score for 'Fairytale Of The City' in the video section and for more info, music and videos, please visit: .. .. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Prior_(musician) .. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_finish .. http://www.myspace.com/mattfinishband .. http://www.myspace.com/newtownbeats .. .. ..
