DISCLAIMER:
I'm sorry if i don't reply to your comment or something. I've simply been distracted by something else. I'm not a big "pc4pc" or anything, so give me a bit and i'll try and get back to you! Thanks
Hey everyone.
Well this is my "solo project" site thing. I don't really concentrate much on solo stuff, but I have some cool things that I'd like to post.
I've decided I might try and write a concept album based around the 7 Deadly Sins as a bit of a challange for myself. I've finished and recorded all the music, just need to do some extra post production. also i need to finish some lyrics and....sing! (that God for pitch correcters!)
Progress:
I've finished all the music and stuff. Just need to write lyrics for Sloth and Envy! hopefully no longer than 2 weeks if i work hard!
Musical Projects:
playfield:
This is the most serious project I am doing. I have been playing bass in playfield since 2004, it's really a great fun band with some fun songs. It's quite a musical challenge which is fun. playfield is a progressive metal band from the Northern Beaches.

Ministerium:
Hmm, how to describe Ministerium. They are an experimental band which has no genre barrier, they play anything anyway when they want, but mostly so called "Avant-Funk" . They are still a young band and are constantly expanding and improving. I have been recently recruited to play electric guitar!

Extreme Genital Punishment:
I write songs and play guitar + Vocals. The genre, as Zach describes it, is "Porno-grind" Which means heavy, low guitars, funk influenced drumbeats, with sexual lyrics and pitch shifted vocals. Its a really fun band to play in, and we are also looking for a drummer. Make sure to check it out.

EnviroCore:
EnviroCore are a Political Enviromental Death Metal band. I am the main song writer and I play bass in it as well as a few vocal tracks (Black Metal Style!). We recently recorded a 4 track EP "Gorganic". Make sure you check it out!

Do you want bass lessons?
I am also 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 play_field@hotmail.com and I'll get in touch with you.
get ready to roll your eyes.... i was on the nightwish forums (surprise!) and someone's signature says 'carpe noctem'....yeah...nothing to special, i just thought of playfield when i saw that lol
The tours going good, I've been a bit sick though : ( We rode a mechanical bull at last nights venue. It was so much fun, Jess stayed on for the longest (1min)
if the next time i talk to you, you have not done your homework, i will be very dissapointed...LOL i think there was something else of slight importance i was gonna tell/ask you but i forgot...
