ABOUT

I am a drummer and percussionist. I have 20 years experience as a musician, and around ten years of regular performing. I have experience producing and mastering. I play an expanded TD30KV electronic kit plus octapad. I used to play in a lot of theatrical productions, orcherstras, stage band and big band. I have not had much of an interest in live rock bands, though I am a very capable rock/metal/progressive drummer. I believe gigging average-sounding music to small crowds serves no useful purpose. When there is a threatrical-style, fully polished show, full of moving music ready to perform, it's ready to go on stage.

For now I am interested in songwriting and producing. I would like to collaborate with producers, keyboardists, rappers and singers on hard-sounding pop electronic music drawing from certain elements of Die Antwoord and AFX with a real drummer (no programmed drums) and electric guitarist, with the capability of performing live with backing, keys, drums, vocals (soprano female / male and female rap) and guitar.

I don't have an interest in performing anything which isn't polished. I expect only song-writing sessions, practice and studio time for a while.

Musicians interested in collaborating with me should understand some music theory and how to identify and write using pleasing musemes, intervals, movements and melodies which illicit an emotional response. I do not wish to produce music which is just musically correct, rather I want to produce music which is intentionally designed around pleasing and moving musemes. I can help musicians to hear and understand this concept.
