My bio
APB is my initials and although I'm from Scotland originally and do music, I have nothing else to do with APB (the band) just so you know.
I have been fortunate to have been interviewed by Tobin Mueller for the MacJams Music Blog and if your curious, you can read that here .
In SL I'm known as "Daft Berger" .. and although there are many 'open doors' there .. I find it much harder to go through them :o)
Free on-line hearing test (frequency ranges)
My age and time spent in rehearsal rooms expressed as results from the above:
67Hz - 12.1 KHz (L+R), 12.1 KHz (L), 11.7 KHz (R). Eh?
I'm here to listen, collaborate (time permitting), give and get feedback ..(weeeeeeeeeeeeeee) .. leave a digital record of my tunes before I die and hopefully, with a bit of luck, improve before doing that ..lol
