BY THE WAY:

I haven't been using this recently. It's currently under construction. My demos (some, and some still to come) can be heard on youtube.

Here's a taster.

PLEASE NOTE:

- Complete set of original demos will be uploaded soon, once copyrights have gone through.

- Tracks are NOT all the same and are all very different from one another to show a range of skills, so don't assume anything hastily.

- I'm a guitarist and intended to do guitar/vocals. However, I did guitars, keyboards, bass and vocals on these demos. I'd never played the other instruments before. I had to do drum tracks on a few also.

- Apart from the few covers I wrote all material, arranged all tracks and recorded, edited, mixed, produced all tracks.

- Tracks were generally recorded in single takes in a home environment with no proper gear and band personnel to count on.

- Some demos are older some are newer.

The material is varied and diverse to show that I can play (and write) a wide range and can also be an example of producing something under time constrained conditions even without a professional setup (gear etc.) available. Also without the necessary personnel at hand.

I believe that I can write and play both musically deep and skillful, aswell as commercially acceptable material. My genre/s are not limited and I am bound by no category. I made a range of demos to show different skills as a guitarist, and as a composer, in different genres and areas of music. I can produce maximum quality possible with the available setup/personnel/gear in minimal time. Improvisation and live play are my specialities as well as being able to work in a recording environment and compose all kinds of material without it taking forever, yet not sacrificing quality.

If you must categorize this "stuff" then you can call it Rock-Blues-Jazz-Psychadelic-Funk-World-Fusion or something like that. Although I see no boundaries/categorization necessary. As I said, the demos are HIGHLY varied, so within them i'm certain there is something that everyone/anyone likes, whatever you're into.

My intention is to get a recording contract or some other such arrangement by which I can record albums and tour live with a band of elite players. I believe I have a great deal to offer the music industry with my project and can be appealing to the masses due to the nature of my varied skills, at the same time as (with an appropriate band) possessing greater musical skills and powerful impact than regular artists at the same time as being able to step into the commercially acceptable zone. So, this overall plan is what i'm interested in mainly. But I am interested in any musically oriented jobs and projects so contact me accordingly if you have something valuable to offer.
