Music
"To describe music as mere sound is an understatement of epic proportions. Music is a universal language of sound that expresses culture, race, time, spirtiuality, all our emotions, the arts and intellectual concepts. It can heal us and transform the soul but above all it has the seemingly magical power to unify sentient beings – even a herd of cows and a farmer can silently enjoy music together, bonded (at least momentarily) by the experience." |
Back in my mispent youth I spent a good few years writing and recording music, mostly under the banner of 'Children Of Dub' - producing a mixture of house, trance, ambient, ambient dub and drum n bass music. At the bottom of this page are a few videos that you can watch or you can click the logo below to take you to my band website where you can read a complete history, see the discography and buy the music on CD, vinyl or download. You can buy the music DVD (featuring 23 songs) below or you can find more info at Magick Eye Records at www.magickeye.com or at childrenofdub.com |

Some musical history: I have been playing music most of my life, starting with the recorder at 7. I moved through several different instruments and by the time I was at University I was writing my own (not very good) songs. I started out in Rock in a band called Eclipse with Demian Castellanos who later worked with me in Children Of Dub and also later formed psychedilic band The Oscillation. Although I love Rock, along with many other genres, I was keen to move into Dance Music fairly rapidly after being blown away by Acid House in 1987. It took me
a few years to figure out how to properly make House, Trance etc. and I was
strongly influenced by my involvement in the underground London club night Zero
Gravity. It was in fact me who found the infamous 'Clerkenwell Clock Shop' in 1990
when looking for a cheap or free practice venue for my band Eclipse.
Our drummer Giles knew these crazy Croatian refugee popstars living in this
big terraced house with an enormous workshop at the back. It wasn't quite right
for us as a practice room but I thought it would be a perfect hidden away spot
for my DJ friends to develop their embryonic club night - the very first Zero
Gravity (which I was at) had been quickly shut down by the police due to
noise levels. |
