A collection of songs, instrumentals and orchestral pieces charting my adventures in home studio recording and production.  All original compositions using voice, acoustic and electric guitar (sometimes using altered tunings), bouzouki, low and high whistles and MIDI instrumentation. 

I'm also using VST instrumentation to create classical compositions and integrating orchestral sounds into my songs and instrumentals.

Links to various instrumental projects and other Social Media links are available below.

Band Bio — Luke Tooze.                                                                           
Written by Stanley Mcintosh. 

An Australian singer/songwriter with a distinctively melancholic sound, Luke Tooze is reminiscent of artists like Elliott Smith, Nick Drake and Thom Yorke. If your idea of a good time is sipping on late night espresso’s or swirling around a red, you’ve most likely found your new obsession in Luke Tooze. An artist for the crowd, a compelling songwriter with a sense of humility that’s worth your evening. 

After quitting his day job as a draftsperson, Luke moved into a house in North Coburg with a primary school teacher named Lena in the Northern suburbs of Melbourne where he lived for a time. He recorded hundreds of demos in a bathroom with a four track and a couple of old mics. Luke believed that a nine to five work structure was getting in the way of hashing out his ideas and spent every day writing and recording for a year. The Northern Suburbs of Melbourne were a breeding ground for raw talent, influencing many musicians such as the late Spencer P. Jones whom he supported at the infamous Tago Mago in Thornbury, and at the time you could have watched Courtney Barnett for free in front of eight people as it was a place for discovering new artists. Rowland S. Howard and many other notable Australian artists such as Michael Hutchence and Nick Cave traipsed around these parts, all taking a chance on the uncertain path of musical artistry. 

Tooze is distinguished by a vulnerable demeanour, conveyed by an intense vocal and personal lyrics that refer candidly to subjects of lost love and time, addiction, depression and alienation. His music's character is also shaped by artful chord transitions and the recognisable timbre of his melodies. 

Luke eventually produced his own solo album in 2018, with record in hand he toured the cities of Australia, then travelled along the West Coast of America, performing at venues such as the Whisky a Go Go, Hotel Café in Hollywood L.A. and Columbia City Theatre, Seattle. Other notable touring spots were the Beauty Bar in Las Vegas and Ventura Saloon, where America’s “Queen of the California Coast,” lies, a surf break made popular by one of Luke favourite vocal group’s The Beach Boys.”

If you’ve just been dumped, listen to Luke Tooze.

Influences: Rush, Yes, Boston, Kansas, The Cars, The Police, The Byrds, Led Zeppelin

Rushtabconaudio is here to share audio recordings from Rush Tablature Conventions aka Rush TabCons.

Rush TabCons are musical events that take place yearly around various parts of the United States. Their purpose is to allow musicians and fans of the rock group Rush to perform the band's music in a live setting.

The idea of a Rush TabCon first came about on the "rush-tabs" Mailing List, now on Yahoo Groups. The first TabCon took place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1997. Today they are still going strong and have been held in the Midwest and on both coasts.

Best of all, you don't have to play like Geddy, Alex or Neil because performers of all skill levels are welcome. And you don't have to sing or play an instrument at all; spectators are welcome too!

The audio shared here are usually raw recordings. Caution: Listen at your own risk! :)

A full time, freelance children's book illustrator, introduced to Magix music making software in January 2014.  Haven't been near music production since school about a hundred years ago.  Can't play a note, and sing like a drain unblocking - Hence any music I may eventually have the nerve to upload is all created using midi/vst instruments playing compositions created in the piano roll editor.   The Magix forum dedicated to music production is the only place to suffer my creations so far.  Didn't realise it could be so much fun though.  Woohoo.

Join me and a lot of other artists at www.atomcollectorrecords.com.
Get more plays for your tracks and meet a lot of awesome people!
Cheers!
