I've been playing Violin for around 20 years, am classically trained (with some folk/fiddle experience), and have featured on an album, performed at the National Folk Festival, Youth Orchestras, and busked up and down the mountains on and off for years now.
I'm also hugely passionate about grunge/alt rock/early metal/punk and have taught myself that style of guitar on and off for around 10 years (mainly rhythm guiatr), and that style of bass guitar for around 5.
I have the equipment to record from home, and am also looking for projects to get involved in, people to jam with, and potentially bands to join/gig with.

MUSIC

Cherub Rock Cover (Demo)
Cherub Rock Cover (Demo) Year: 2024 Genre: Cover/Tribute
Something I put together over the past few months by myself. Programmed the MIDI drums, recorded all the guitars/bass, and also thought some violin over the solo could sound cool. Not quite happy with how it is right now, isn't properly mixed, and probably needs more time in the oven, but it is what it is.

Clear
Clear Year: 2023 Genre: Acoustic
An electric violin recording that was an exercise in trying to get the electric violin sounding a bit more like the acoustic. More of a recorded practise session than a song, but still a good example of the sound I can achieve.

Medieval Musings
Medieval Musings Year: 2024 Genre: Acoustic
A medieval-inspired piece that I wrote and recorded the violin for. Collaborated with a friend who did the drums, tambourine, and woodwind.
