My Musical Journey - Prelude

This is the home of Rocked-up, Funkified Ambient House & IDM (formerly GlitchEdelic DubRock) & Music for Gaming (a Google+ page).

If I comment, like & add your track to a playlist, then that means it's most likely being re-posted

later that evening on Music for Gaming . No need for thanks -I feel like it's my calling in life to share good background music (and sometimes stuff with lyrics) with as many folks as I can. Besides, who doesn't like gaming while jamming out to some sweet tunes?!?! You gotta do something once you're bored with the game's soundtrack, right? >;} This is also the inspiration for most of my music.

As for me -I'm out to prove: 1.) that you can make music with feeling even if your just manipulating bits and... 2.) injuries that limit your playing abilities don't have to limit your growth as an artist.

I'm a long-time, self-taught guitarist trying to figure out this electronic music gig, so you'll hear a lot of guitar (real & digital) in my tracks. I'm a metal-head at heart, but I've always been a sucker for a good beat. Now, I can finally put the 2 together, along with some of the ambient/trance stuff I've come to be rather fond of.

Guitar influences include David Gilmour, Eddie Van Halen, Tony Iommi, Glenn Tipton, Chris DeGarmo, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughn.

Electronic influences include Tangerine Dream, Bassnectar, Enigma, Just Casey, Skrillex, DeadMau5, BlueTonicWorld, Synth.nl, Au5, and Koven.

General musical influences would be Pink Floyd, early Queensryche, John Williams (Star Wars!), Rush, Queen, David Bowie, Metallica, Johnny Cash and the Bee Gees.

Keep Rockin' the Heavy Bass my friends, but don't forget to Chill every once in a while!!
