TM ( logo idea - CHRIS.M / Design - XGIBBO ) two mice fell into a bucket full of cream. The first mouse struggled for a short while but quickly gave up. the " 2ND MOUSE " fought so furiously that he eventually churned the cream into butter, and crawled out. Today , I am that 2nd mouse ( courtesy of "catch me if you can" ) As soon as i heard this , i knew it was perfect symbolism for tenacity and determination. Something that would cement my resolve and enable me to persevere. I've been making music since about the age of 14 , so thats over 20 years ago.............however , I've been "seriously" making music for about 4/5 years now. I grew up being a big big fan of depeche mode. Then when the acid house explosion hit us , I came across Detroit Techno and discovered Juan Atkins / Model 500 , Derrick May , Blake Baxter , and then I was listening to the likes of Dan Curtin, Luke Slater, Jeff Mills , Polygon window/Aphex twin , and most recently Balil/Plaid , Boards of Canada and a lot of independant IDM and electronica from M3RCK , John Tejada , Machine Drum , Plone , Frank Martiniq , Vesna etc..... If its fresh and experimental , i'll listen to it. 2ndMOUSE is about attempting to push boundaries and fuse together sounds that were never intended to enjoy the same space , whilst bringing a smile to your face , or a tear to your eye. Watch this space. NEW ALBUM available here -- http://www.archive.org/details/FW008_2ndMOUSE_FullOFEarthAndStars Other places to find me are ---- http://www.secondmouse.metafex.net ( ^^^^^^ my EP's are downloadable from here as free ZIP files --- all i ask in return is that if you like what you hear , you either tell me , or tell someone else ---- thanks ) http://www.myspace.com/polyphonickid ( ^^^^^^ for promotional purposes only ) and http://www.soundclick.com/2ndmouse ( ^^^^^^ lots of older tracks........there was almost 100 , but i had a cull =) , and only left those that were representational of 2ndMOUSE in terms of melody / quality / insanity ) Many thanks for all your support. In these days of waning attention spans , i hope my music finds you well.
