Independent digital musician from London u.k.

I'm Jonny Sparkles. I started this back at first lockdown as a fairly novice keyboard player. This was my attempt to create an album at home - everywhere closed, no work, the band I play with was well, ‘banned’, and everything stopped. I only knew keyboards at start, so had to learn all the other parts - make up drum patterns, try & work out bass-lines, have a go at other instruments & then try and mix it all together. Initially I made 'drums' from cardboard boxes & margarine tubs so was all a very DIY effort. I got a few 'Friends' to appear where able, mostly with vocals. Which they recorded at home & forwarded - all communication was done via phone, computer & headphones so it was a reflection of life at the time - isolated! It was a challenge, a learning curve and a lot of fun!
And once things got back to normal-ish I still occasionally continue with it, just adding the odd track when the urge takes me!
