Hello,
A couple of years back I was given a 4 track recording studio as a Christmas present, so I dusted down my old bass guitar and my ancient electric guitar and decided to try out a few tunes on it. I knocked out an instrumental called "ForN" and then made a full track with vocals, bass guitar and electric called "Mayberry Hill". I played it to a few friends and surprisingly they liked it. I wrote a few more then received a keyboard as a present and then a 12 string guitar as another present (you may be thinking I get a lot of presents!). The long and short of it is that I have put all these instruments to use and have written a lot of music.I have categorised my material as progressive rock because luckily you can play anything under this banner! (11/05/2008)
Now that I have put a couple of videos on YouTube I think I should explain what I mean by "Mayberry Hill Concept". A majority of the songs I've uploaded have themes based around a fictitious Village called "Mayberry Hill", they are all set at different time periods spanning from 1799(Kite) to 2504(Falling to Earth),at this point there are quite a few songs left to go! I've accompanied each song with an explanation of the theme, it's time setting and how it relates to Mayberry Hill. Over and out for now!! (17/06/2008)
About time for a further update: I've probably got about four further songs to add to complete the "Mayberry Hill" collection. I've also got involved in a new musical project with a friend, we have already a few songs under our belt that are more of the flavour of "Falling to Earth" and "Radio Mars" than being similar to my other offerings.. We've almost completed one song called "Sister Mercury" and are working on another called "2/3rds Ice", both of which are more progressive in flavour (09/10/2008)
