I used to run a band called Quite Earth with my brother Phil. I wrote all the songs played lead guitar and actually sang some of the vocals (which hurt a few ears). We were a sort of prog rock gothic mix. We played some larger concerts  but most of the time we just recorded. Our one album was entitled Psycho Epic Mania and the single was called "Car". The single was about a young man obsessed with automobiles. It was actually pretty cool at the time.

 I like most types of music. My influences must be Genesis (remember them?) YES (around the same time) and more recently, Faithless. I also like some dance and most good pop songs.

As for gear I have CuBase Studio 4 on a adapted HP laptop, a rare Roland guitar synth, a Marshall amp and various other guitars, effects and some sort of cheap midi keyboard.
