Do you love music 2?
We can all thank our parents and our friends if listening to music and playing musical instruments became part of life's pleasures from an early age.
When computers came along they put studio quality production into the hands of the masses ... including me!
So all recording for Tusler-Design is done using a PC or Mac using various mics or line-in connections.
Musical instruments I can play;
- electric guiar
- acoustic guitar
- electric bass
- keyboards
- drums
- percussion
I sometimes also attempt to perform vocals.
Some music history
I was fortunate to be in the south coast rock band 'Wazz' throughout the 1980s as bass player.
Check out Particle Assuming (MP3) to hear me playing the bass guitar ('slap and pop').
In the '90s I learned Indian 'kirtan' instruments like the beautiful mrdanga and the harmonium at the Radha-Krishna Temple in Soho Street, London.
I also played bass in a couple of bands in London in the early to mid '90s.
Then I got involved in the dance music scene and learned about samplers and djs playing great tunes. 
Worked at Total Music and was a production manager for the Mantradance parties in '99/2000.
Gave a live performance of mantra samples and breakbeats, drumloops and sample loops with superstar DJ Kix.
The track Mantra Dance MP3 sums up this time.
I was co-producer in the Where's my Hair? Recordings "Made in Portsmouth" series of releases with the above mentioned Kix.
Couple of tracks from then include:
Now, since coming to Wales I have gone back to playing live and improvisating, mostly playing electric or acoustic guitar.
New for 2008 - started overdubbing instruments like trumpets and organs onto pre-recorded (by the Collective) guitar, bass and drum improvisations. (Can't find a keyboard player or trumpet player so I pretended I could ;0)
