About Me |
|
Personal Stuff 35 years old. Married and living in Wellesbourne, near Stratford, England - although originally from Brighton, Sussex.After multiple redundancies with games studios getting closed during the past (if EA can't keep a studio open, then who can?), and then trying to be a full time musician, I'm back full time in Video Games development, this time at Codemasters. Past work includes work as a media composer and sound designer (Dungeon Keeper 2, Theme Park World, Formula 1, Sudeki, Dark Omen, Cyberspeed). Other Stuff My evening time is spent trying to earn cash from anyone who will pay me half decent money, be it from public or private gigs, weddings, functions, etc. etc. Previous history includes Moondance, Silver Dogs, Danko, Tricks Upon Travellers, K-Passa, Blue Horses, C64 Audio, Stuck in D 80's, Pepe Delux, Massive Attack, Laura Kenny, and Divine Comedy. I also run the popular Fiddle and Alternative Strings Forum. I play instruments made by Bridge Electric and Wood Violins , with acoustic pickups by Headway Electronics . So, how about some sound files then.... madfiddler - Rock Improv Tricks Upon Travellers - Knocker Boys Tricks Upon Travellers - Despots Dead Tricks Upon Travellers - Spartacus madfiddler - Aquilyra K-Passa - Whispered Light Silver Dogs - Blacksmith Silver Dogs - Child Silver Dogs - Poison Jester's Mask Or you could buy the Tricks Upon Travellers Album, Where the Skeletons Dance, in mp3 form by clicking HERE And some interesting links http://www.madfiddler.co.uk - my personal website http://www.fiddleforum.com - Fiddle and Alternative Strings forum http://www.gamesounds.co.uk - download my game music from here (www.myspace.com/gamesounds) http://www.tricksupontravellers.co.uk - My old Folk Punk band (www.myspace.com/tricksupontravellers) http://www.myspace.com/thesilverdogs - Silver Dogs - I'm currently playing with these great guys, based in Chorley, up in the North West. http://www.myspace.com/dankoband - Danko - and I'm playing with awesome guys too. Just remember, there's more to a real performance than just standing dead still on stage looking like you've got stage fright. If you want someone to give not only a musical performance, but an entertaining visual performance.. then the madfiddler is the one to call! (but you have to like purple people ;) |
