Hi, I'm Simon. I'm a musician who lives in the Northern Beaches of Sydney. I'm 19 and I love all aspects of music. I play bass and guitar, but I also enjoy dabbling on drums and keyboards.

I started playing music when I picked up the bass in 2004. Ever since then I have to performing live to audiences in venues around Sydney. I studied Music and Entertainment with the HSC results 88 and 76 respectively.

My ambition is to be professional musician and I also have much a bigger goal of touring around the world!
I enjoy, write and record a lot of different styles of music so I have a lot of MySpaces - which can be a bit confusing - but if you have any questions about them, just message me.

BASS
I've been playing bass since about 2004. I love playing metal, funk and rock mostly, but am really open to all styles. I'm a very solid player who can read, knows music theory, can play in different modes and time signatures and is a quick learner!

GEAR:
Spector Legend 5 Classic (NEW!) ESP LTD B-55 (5-string)
Marshall 25th anniversary 300 watt head
Behringer/Bugera 2x10 500 watt speakers
BOSS ME-50B
(Go to "Pictures/My Photos" to see them!)
With this gear I get a pretty bitchin' sound!

GUITAR
I've been playing guitar since maybe around 2005, but only started playing seriously since the middle of 2007. I began playing guitar to help my song writing and broaden my musical knowledge, but since joining MinisteriuM I have started practicing a lot more seriously.

GEAR:
J&D Luthiers JD-8052
Marshall AVT 100 Watt
Ibanez Weeping Demon Wah Pedal
E-Bow



Do you want bass or guitar lessons?

I am starting up my own bass lessons. $20 for half an hour, learn the songs/theory you want to. If you are interested in learning bass from me please contact simon.skipper@hotmail.com and I'll get in touch with you.

hey!
we are trying to change something...
our new singer erik can't be a full member of dreamscape because the stess to travel a lot is affecting his health.
so we decided to work with more than one singer - honestly we will work with even more than two...
hopefully you will like that idea! we like it a lot because we will be very flexible and our sound will become even more complex!
kind regards!

PS: always believe in your dreams! and don't get frightened if they are becoming real! - because for a believer they will!
