About me:

I'm a freelance graphic & web designer from the Netherlands, who loves all forms of art. My main interests are music, photography and graphic design, but I also love movies, great tv shows, traveling and playing guitar.

I live in the Netherlands but have lived in other places like Greece and the United States. New places and cultures interest me and experiencing them firsthand has made me who I am today.

Rated-Art.com has been my web design venture since 2001. Since then, I've worked with established and aspiring artists in the music industry as well as business executives and computer companies to extend and innovate their online presence. This is still a part-time job for me. I would love to be able to do it full-time.

Some people and bands I've worked with/for so far: Duff McKagan, Dave Kushner, Out Of Control, Screaming Mike, Circus Diablo, Billy Morrison, Matt Sorum, Darling Stilettos, Scott Weiland, Emma Ejwertz, Sex & Violets and my own previous band Crazy Jane Talks.

Jul 2 2007 3:40 AM

Hello to all my friends (and sorry for the generic message)

Lets get the long update out of the way.

If you didn't already know, Red Top Matches is no more! After problems with line-ups effecting inspiration etc and Nick finally leaving for personal reasons in January, we decided the band had run its course.

Myself and Ash had a load of ideas stored up that were a but more hard-edged than the RTM material, so we took the plunge and along with Dan, we auditioned and formed a new band.

So ladies and gents I give you Riot:Noise - www.myspace.com/riotnoisemusic

We kept the whole thing pretty quiet whilst we were writing the songs, and we played one low-key gig on my birthday at the end of May which went great. The shitty recordings on the band page are from that gig - apologies for the sound quality but it was ripped from a video camera! We should hopefully be hitting the studio in the next couple of months to do some rough demos of all the songs we've written, so I'll keep you up to date.

In order to start fresh, I have created a new page that I will be using for all my band updates etc. So please go and add me at:
www.myspace.com/martyriotnoise

I just want to say thanks to all the people that supported us through RTM and especially the past year when we were doign nothing yet you all still listened to the tunes and messgaed us for updates. Sorry it took so long to tell ya, but now is the time for the Riot to begin!

We are in the process of booking gigs and hopefully there will be a couple of dates in August and possibly a small tour in October. As always, I'll update you - but it will be through the other profile.

Hi there. Chameleon have released ‘Egotrippers’ from the upcoming EP ‘Some Kind of Monster’. It’s a pointed, G n’ R style tune that starts out like a quiet one at the pub but gets rowdy fast! Please check it out & let us know what you think.
