Hi there,

My name is 'SoulMetricSystem'

I began as a singer in a band but kicked out very soon, hahaha. But i came back!!!!! as a percussionist.
Since i was 17 years old I have played in different kind of bands, reggea, funk, fusion, jazz, dj's, etc. And different kind of places; clubs, festivals, student party's, etc.
For over 4 years now i'm trying to make music in my home studio.
The music i make is a blending of all those styles above. It's most of the time groovy, with nice rhythm patterns. Atleast i think so :-)
Most of the time the sounds i create are very different of each other. But that's what i like to do: making music i like and what's in my head at that moment of time!

This is the SoulMetric train at this moment and honered to have met these wonderfull passengers at SoundCloud station:

I've been playing guitar with varying degrees of devotion for about 30 years. I love to play and record every chance I get and have really enjoyed my time on SC so far.  My musical influences are guitar greats such as Hendrix, SRV, Jerry Garcia, Jimmy Page, Duane Allman, Robben Ford, Mike Bloomfield, Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks. I love listening to other people's music and drawing inspiration from their talents.  Most of all I appreciate all of the support from the community here and look forward to spending a lot more time. :)

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. ~ Aldous Huxley

All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it. ~ Jean Cocteau

All music is beautiful. ~ Billy Strayhorn

I've become addicted to drone. Again. I was the kid with his head on the piano, listening to the overtones die away, or pressing his ear to the steel hull of the ferry, enthralled by the sounds it created. I was the kid who formed wordless songs to accompany the sound of train wheels on a long journey, or hummed along with the fan on a hot day.

In the 60s I used to play my 45s on 16, or backwards, or by hand using razor blades as stylii.

I made cut-up tapes on a cheap cassette recorder in the 70s and experimented with reel-to-reel in the 80s. 

Thank you Subotnick, Lygeti, Coltrane, Jimi, Mimaroglu, Eno, Cluster, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk, Throbbing Gristle...

I am not a musician. I am a scavenger of sounds. I use the most basic software to process those sounds, stretching and filtering until something emerges that makes a joyful noise. Or not...
