Hello! I am greenbank, I'm based in Edinburgh, Scotland, originally from near St. Andrews and I have been composing music on my computer for a good 7 years or so.

My music is all fairly poppy-electronic in style with a lot of electro/80s influence coming through lately, I won't waste words attempting to describe it - have a wee listen! The tracks I've picked for on here are quite a good cross-section of my work.

My main influences are modern electronica stuff of various styles, 80's pop, classic electro, 80's film soundtracks, jungle and anything with awesome synths and proper rocking-out-on-the-drum-machine drums!

I produce all my music in modplug tracker, which is an excellent open-source tracker program for windows that handles VSTs and is (for me) far superior to similar programs like renoise. I use various programs for editing samples too.

Hardware-wise I recently updated my old desktop computer to a 2 GHz machine which will keep me happy for a while. I don't really use anything else in the production process except an ever-increasing number of old tape recorders which I seem to be accumulating and a battered old minidisc recorder with the world's worst microphone (pulled off a cheap webcam set or something). I don't have a laptop - this causes me no end of trouble!
