Cosmic Salutations fellow travellers of the audible spectrum and beyond!

A little about me - 
I was raised by the music of the Commodore 64's Sid Chip and the ZX Spectrum 128's Yamaha AY-3-8912 sound chip. 

Growing up I was inspired by JMJ, Tangerine Dream, John Carpenter's own soundtracks as well as the music of Dario Argento's films performed by his band Goblin. 

Tutored in my formative years and well beyond by house, electro, hip-hop, rave, trip hop, ambient, electronica, German trance, psychedelic rock, goa trance, dark trance, indie, dub reggae, techno, funky tunes and general weirdness. I loved music so much I set up a pirate radio with my friends as a teenager to share what the mainstream stations didn't (this was well before the tinterweb).  

I now enjoy many genres of music except maybe the bland and corporate. Listen to a fair bit of more leftfield rock such as stoner, space, Krautrock and the new psychedelic stuff. I like the nihilism of Swan and the chaotic joy of the Brian Jonestown Massacre. A big fan of BBC 6's the Freak Zone and still miss John Peel (probably even more so than before).  

A bit of a nerd at heart and still go weak kneed and misty eyed at a nice Amiga demo or a Martin Galway arpeggio

Always happy to collaborate and if you happen to like anything of mine you are welcome to use it as long as you ask first!
