| My name is David Pletts and I live in East Anglia, UK. I am 67 and have worked in various jobs including printing, teaching and working on the British railway system. Almost all my life I have had an interest in music, and for many years on and off have been a church organist. About 25 years ago I became interested in electronics, particularly in sound producing equipment. I bought a small synthesisier and did some multi-track recording. Next an interest in computing meant that I was using computers (Ataris and Amigas) for composing, using trackers. Now I still use some pretty basic, inexpensive, software for music making, mainly employing Magix Music Maker, Cubasis VST 5, and AudioMulch with many VST instruments and effects to create sounds and sequence them in addition to using 'found' loops and samples from various sources. Other examples of my music can be found at http://www.soundclick.com/208andahalf By-the-way, all the song illustrations are made by my own graphics program PikQuik 3. It's a free program. You can find more information about it and it can be downloaded from http://www.hometown.aol.co.uk/dpletts/pq3.html |
