I'm Scott Hannay and I play video games. Sometimes, with friends. By 'play video games', I mean the music from them. And yes, the games.

Primarily a studio musician now, but I do jam live sometimes. I write/compose my own ideas, collaborate with others, or like to help other musicians with recording/producing/mixing/engineering their songs/ideas/demos . Guitar is my main instrument, but I can play some bass guitar and keys too.  The music on my soundcloud page goes all the way back to 2002 at the earliest, but most is from 2005 and onward. I do graphic design, photography, and some video editing too. All artwork on here done by me.

My musical interests and influences cover a broad range of genres from folk, jazz, blues, funk, reggae, rock, grunge, hip-hop, electronic to death metal. I try to stay open minded about different types of music. I think that will eventually make you a better musician/producer in general. 

Some favorite bands, influences, and guitar heroes: Guns 'N Roses/Slash, Led Zeppelin/Jimmy Page, Hendrix,  Phish/Trey Anastasio, Opeth/ Mikael Åkerfeldt, Metallica, Alice In Chains/Jerry Cantrell, Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson,  In Flames, Dream Theater/John Petrucci, Pantera/Dimebag, Umphrey's McGee, The Crystal Method, Boards Of Canada, Massive Attack, Portishead, 311/Tim Mahoney, Passafire, Pink Floyd/David Gilmour, Failure/Ken Andrews, Queens of The Stone Age, Warren Haynes, Infected Mushroom, A Tribe Called Quest, Swollen Members, Katatonia, Yes/Steve Howe, Slayer, Tool/Perfect Circle, Joe Satriani, Sublime, White Zombie, Grateful Dead, Blind Melon, Ween, Children Of Bodom, O.S.I., Smashing Pumpkins, Soundgarden 

Plus the majority of my friends who happen to be talented musicians themselves. We always inspire, influence and push each other.
