Bio
.. .. .... .. ...... .. .. .. .. .. ...... ...... .. .. .. .. .. ...... .... .. .... .... .... .. .... .... ...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... ..I began playing the guitar at the age of 16 when I was residing in Canada. It wasn't long before I formed a three-piece band called Target Relief with a couple of guys from my high school. The first to approach me was a then-drummer Jason Adams(currently fronting The Imperial Playground). Upon spending some frustrating time searching for the right bass player, we decided to bring my friend Brett Pendleton(known also for his Pendleton Project) into the band. Shortly after, the band changed the name to Fusillade, and continued to create great music and performing a number(not many, but hey...) of live shows... ..Unfortunately, the musical differences among the band members led me to leave the band. Upon Leaving Fusillade(who later changed the name to Liquid), I set out on a never-ending journey of composing, recording, and further learning about music in general... ..My current work features so many different aspects of music, including rock, metal, classical, blues, jazz, pop, world music, techno/electronica, and anything else that I find to be positively influencial to my music. I have also written a full-out classical piece entitled "Tak's Symphony No.1", the first piece for my still-in-development "Guitarchestra" project. The piece sounds similar to Paul Gilbert's "Gilberto Concerto", and I'm also sure there are certain sections in it that may resemble the already existing classical pieces, though, in my mind it is still my original work... ..I have also made guest appearances on a few other projects as well. Check out a Scottish multi-instrumentalist Phil's two projects ..Badly Rolled Joint.. and ..Purple Gnome.. on MySpace! "JJJ"(BRJ) and "Assassin"(PurpleGnome) both feature Yours Truly on guitar... ..I use: Ibanez JS series guitars, Gibson Les Paul Standard, Washburn N2, Squier Stratocaster, Line6 POD, Digitech Whammy pedal, Jim Dunlop CryBaby wah pedal, Danelectro Tremolo pedal, BOSS HM-2 Heavy Metal Distortion and other pedals made by BOSS, Zoom Rhythm Trak 234, Roland VS-2000 Digital Studio Workstation, and other things as I see fit... .. ...... ....Spread the word! Add Tak's banner(below) to your page. :-) See the blue section for the instructions..... .... .. .... .... ....Use the following code to put Tak's banner on your profile. You know how, I'm sure...(in case you don't, it's copy and paste the code onto your "About Me" section, as far as I know)...... ....BUY Tak's CD's at his CD Baby page!!! (click on the icon below).. .......... ....Check out Tak's laid-back side project VOLTOPHONIX!!.... .. .. .... .. ....Tak Jovendrake also recommends the following artists!!.... ....Tonka.... ...... ....Cori Yarckin.... .. .. .... .. ....Eric Stadler.... .. .. .... .. ....Margot MacDonald.... .. .. .... .. ....More cool links coming soon... In the meantime, also check out my Top Friends(below) for more rockin' artists on MySpace!!.... ..!!! Start Code To Apply Top Banner !!!!.. ...... ...... .. -

Sounds Like
..One may recognize a fair bit of Joe Satriani in my lead work. Music-wise, I go all over the place. But I'm a sucker for Def Leppard/Van Halen-ish compositions. Haha, and my favorite mode to solo in is Lydian, just like Steve Vai. :-D.. ..The long-anticipated 5-song EP "Prologue" available online NOW!!!.. ..............

We've been in the studio finishing our album. Here is a short teaser video I made of one of our songs. The audio is still raw. The final mix is due next week.

Hey man! Long time no see! Nice new tunes you've got up on here.. (if they're new that is; it's seriously been ages! since i was last on here.)
BUT!.. I've got some serious things in the works and I'm about to be a lot more active online via Youtube, Facebook, Twitter and MySpace.
I'll keep you posted. In the meantime, do you have Facebook?
Hi Axe Kid,
good to hear all is well on your end and the damages were kept to the minimum! I just read your blog entry about the recent big earthquake – scary stuff... Are you currently living in Tokyo area or do I remember it wrong?
Pitch Axis indeed – great that you picked it up on "New World"! :D I'm loving that idea as well and I'm sure I now need to give another listen to "The Angel With An Attitude" and "Axis Pitcher" too! ;)
All the very best,
Juha
Hi Axe Kid,
it's been a while, I hope all is well at your end, bro. How's the new Taky-J tune coming together?
I've not spent a lot of time here on MS since the site got re-designed, but I just uploaded a new song called "New World" on my page – drop by for a listen when you've got a minute.
All the very best,
Juha

Hi Axe Kid,
dropped by for "The Path" and enjoyed it very much – I listened to it three times in a row :) Cool exotic vibe. I'm looking forward to hearing more!
Keep the music flowing, bro
Juha
love your songs keep up your good work
Hi Axe Kid,
dropping by to wish you a very happy Holiday Season!
I've been busy working on a new page layout recently since the New MySpace wiped away the old one. It's still a work in progress, but I'm starting feel pretty happy about it.
It's interesting to see what happens here, some of my MS contacts have already moved on.
All the best,
Juha
