Just thought I'd momentarily break away from the Chuck Norris mayhem and tell you all about myself.
My name's James, I live in Australia, and I'm 17 years old.
I started getting into music when I was about 13, listening to what was on the radio at the time, but I decided that it wasn't really for me. So I got into my parents old vinyl collection and found myself in the glory of 80's poprock. Starting with Duran Duran, The Cure, The Police... and so on. I started learning keyboards when I was 14 and haven't stopped since then. I taught myself guitar and bass, while I broadened my musical horizon by listening to a whole range of electronic goodness such as New Order, Jean Michel Jarre, Gary Numan, Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, Depeche Mode.... and I could go on all day. The first proper synth I purchased was a microKorg, which I still love and use non-stop. The Moog Little Phatty has been my next endevour, and hopefully I'll be picking it up next Monday! Oh the wait...! I'm in a "band" of sorts (me and a mate who also plays synth, you could say we're an electronic duo) and we write stuff in the genre of electronic dance as well as some new age-electro.
We've just started writing our new EP, and are perfecting it with live drums and arranging it for live performances.
I just joined the forum here recently, and I've been checking it out everyday!
