Always been creative in some way. Learned music theory at basic level at school but since just literally played it by ear.
Mainly Keyboard.
Learning Guitar.
Presently getting used to Skale Tracker v0.81b.
Audacity is very handy.
I've previously experimented using Ejay packages, Music 2000 on the Playstation and before that I was completely hooked on Protracker V3.1b for the Amiga 500, for which I still have the modules and samples on disk.
Zoom G1 Guitar Effects Pedal.
Sony Hi-fi with lots of inputs and outputs.
Big Speakers.
Lots of Jack plugs.
Everything from the soothing harmonies of Sarah McLachlan up to the powerful riffs of Rage Against the Machine then back down to Chillout and Trance and just about everything in between, with the exception of some Jazz.
It USUALLY ends up sounding like a combination of Trance and Rock, with random elements thrown into the mix of course.
I love doing remixes when I get the chance too.
