Biography

Well, it seems that my catalogue is getting lengthly so I thought that I would offer some direction as to what some of my songs are like.
If you need some quick links then here they are:

Firstly, my collaborations are very good (mainly due to my partners of course!). These feature my vocals and if they're not your cup of tea,
then I have tracks that other vocalists have sung on (which I will list below).

Please have a listen to my other Icomp band: http://www.icompositions.com/artists/TheKomrades


I Won't Follow You Down (with the brilliant Dylan. A political rock track.)
http://www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=26062

Gather Your Mind (with the majestic DigitalGreyOrchestra. A mellow and beautiful score.)
http://www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=27505

WhatchaGonnaDo? (with two prolific talents: jolofsson & j0j0. Well produced anthemic and atmospheric song.)
http://www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=28842

Sweet Jane (revisited) (with Dylan. Remake of Lou Reed track. Wonderful work from Dylan and foul language from me.)
http://www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=45474#

Angels and Demons (with the astounding 'Project Overlord'. ElectricRequiem put this amazing metal track together.)
http://www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=24398

Origami Girl (with the superb Ermites & sammyboy. Cool grooving track.)
http://www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=31230

Reins of Regret (a Project Overlord song with just Ignoramus and myself. Igno made this song fly!)
http://www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=44459

Icompania (Jazzdall, FrozenEntropy, Yohmar and myself doing a tribute to the victims of Madrid, New York, London and everywhere else.)
http://www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=19205

Oh Yeah (Samboway wrote and produced this gem. One of my personal favs).
http://www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=44104


Secondly, my solo pieces. These are tracks that are essentially my 'favorites' but not necessarily my best works.

Marianna (the track that defines my sound the most.)
http://www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=24312

A Ray of Light (a song that illustrates my technical abilities and a feel-good kind of track.)
http://www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=47745

Chincoteague Bay (an experimental song with sound effects and vocal layers)
http://www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=41904

A Boy and His Freedom (a low-key tune basically with keyboards and my vocals. Probably my best lyrically).
http://www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=42584


Thirdly, my collaborations with other vocalists. Mainly, it's my music with guests singing over it.

Your Exit (I Exist to Provide) (Etgilles sings brilliantly here - got him before he became famous!).
http://www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=24801

Room to Roam (with brnPetra) (Petra and I doing a duet. She's amazing here).
http://www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=56567

Room to Roam (Choirbox mix) (Choirbox sings hypnotically over my track - another star in the making).
http://www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=50873

HeyaHeya (Room to Roam) (iamOpen blew the doors open with his vocals on this track).
http://www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=53445

-------------------------------------------------------

Born in New York City when it was called New Amsterdam.

I can be summed up quite simply as:

"a wide-eyed loner standing at the gates of oblivion"
