Roll The Dice

Bigfoot is a friend of mine. We like to make music and share it with our friends. See our YouTube channel and A Journal of Nonsense for more fun.

Guitarist/Songwriter that writes, records, performs, mixes and masters all my own music.

Some Synths and all Drums programmed from scratch by me.

I'm a genuine Guitarist/Musician that's strongly against A.I. music being passed off as someone's own work.

Check out my Guitar Playthrough Videos here for authenticity:

JERUSALEM CALLING 

this is purely for the love of playing in fact its my therapy 
I heard from beyond the grave to rock n roll

And I enjoy your guys music very much  


DISCLAIMER-- I mix and master this sound specifically using Audio Technica ATH-M20x Professional Monitor Headphones through a  Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th Gen USB Audio Interface.   Also if its played through external speakers it probably sounds garbage.  It's mixed and mastered on headphones for headphones.

Welcome back to my page. After a week of 'technical issues', I'm back in my Producer role.  Hope you all have had a wonderful time while I was away... but I'm back so lets get this show on the road!!

1st album by Charlie and the Fox is out now https://open.spotify.com/album/78ewrWZjS41XvHT9mFWd6O?si=qkG2b5LbSK6mo6qDzuZskw Quick note , if someone plays a track of mine I Always return the favour , and if they have no tracks I always say thank you ! But sometimes SC will show me all the listeners , but other times they only show me the last 2 hours and I have no idea of who listened to what , it is so annoying , and I apologise if I miss anyone out , it's not deliberate , I value every single one of my listeners ! Self confessed Music Addict ! I write and play/vocalise everything myself whether it be real or synthetic . Recently teamed up with Charlotte Thornton , and together we are Charlie and the Fox , it's the best thing I have ever done musically . Char has an outstanding voice , writes amazing lyrics and comes up with melodies I would never have dreamed of , it's a partnership that works so well , and long may it continue ! We thank you for listening , liking and commenting . Cheers , Mike and Char .

Perfect Peace!
Perfect harmony!
Perfect love!

As primarily a guitarist, I use several different guitars, Gibson Les Paul,  several PRS SE models (with some pickup modifications), Sire Larry Carlton S10, and more. I record using a Line-6 Helix processor and a Fender Tone Master pedalboard.  I use Studio One Professional DAW and have a deep library of sounds, samples, and loops to create with.  The keyboard I use for triggering sounds and playing keyboard parts is a Komplete Kontrol S-49.

You'll see on my page (below) that my music also gets posted to several other platforms. I use CD Baby to publish my music to a greater audience.

Thank you to those who take the time to listen, comment, and repost - I appreciate it.  I know what I do is not for everyone, but I am happy to reach some who may find it enjoyable to listen to.
