Creator of world-class musical instrument and effect software plug-ins http://www.admiralquality.com

South West UK based, amateur, solo-artist, creating tracks with (mostly) analog synthesizers, analog drum machines, electric bass and guitars.
The tracks are instrumental music pieces and "jams" in a variety of styles, from pop to rock, 80s, electronica, funk/jazz funk, fusion and prog - often heavily stylized and influenced by artists from the 70s and 80s.

Originally from the West Midlands, I now live in North Somerset, near Bristol

Takeshi-09 is a highly advanced cyborg. He wanders the world in search of an answer to his questions on love, life and happiness. During his travels, he meets a young girl with magic powers; known only as "Kid", and from there he encounters a whole new video game like world, a mish mash of technology and mysticism filled with witches and wizards, as well as giant robots and Roland TB-303 Bass Synthesisers.
This is the story of their adventures.
Or, an electronic music project. Either way I hope you find a deeper meaning to all this.

I'm a self-taught multi-instrumentalist living in London, England. My main instruments are keyboards, bass guitar and double bass, but I also play electric and acoustic guitars, ukulele, 6-string banjo and chromatic harmonica, and I will have a go at anything else that makes a noise.

My musical roots are in the Blues, but my recordings range in style from country to punk to experimental, with bits of funk, jazz and retro movie soundtrack thrown in. And hopefully a bit of humour...
