It's an equal, yet separate passion, a welcome distraction and a source of creative inspiration.
The themes of both music and comics for me are linked for the obvious reason that the same person is creating both.
Guitar based music like rock, metal and punk.
I started recording in '96 (on an ordinary tape deck). Graduated to an analog 4 track recorder in '98 (got a drum machine about the same time). And made the leap to 96 track digital in '03 (only need about 20 tracks!). I keep the analog 4 track as a backup and for ambient sound effects.
Here's some links to download pages for my mp3 files

* ALL DEAD LINKS - SORRY.
I uploaded to sendspace but they take 'em down after 7 days (from the last download so they need to be constantly active or they get rid of them).
I'll look for something permanent soon.
thanx.
