WHO IS DANGERWARDEN?
 Scots-born, University-educated, software developer, fiction writer, cinephile, who spent a significant period of adulthood in that there London, before fleeing for the auld country.
Enthralled by music since a child. As a youngster, played the recorder and recorded songs directly from the radio (top 40 countdown, every Sunday on Radio 1). Wannabe
Jean-Michel Jarre or
Howard Jones in their teens, messing about with Casio keyboards, basic drum machines and writing/recording their own songs via primitive, home-made multitrack methods.
As a London denizen in their adult years, was a frequent and avid live music gig-goer - Brixton Academy and Kentish Town Forum being favourite venues. Tried to learn bass guitar in later years but kept being distracted by life.
As a tech nerd, discovered and gained a deep interest in music-sequencing and creation software (via the gateway drug of "Music", "Music 3000" for the Playstation series of consoles - anyone remember those?) so started using this technology with pre-recorded samples to build, mix and produce tracks. Now works exclusively in this digital manner
(and spares you from hearing their voice by using the voices of actual, talented people).
Range of musical influences: from
Muse to
Pet Shop Boys;
OMD to
