| Background
John joined the band at the end of 1990
after playing with another local band Exceed
for two years before.Having played with
Alchemist on many occasions the opportunity
to join arose, John promptly quit Exceed
and was excited at the chance to play with
open and like minded musicians. This new
musical horizon was what John had been wanting
to explore, as his tastes lay in heavy and
experimental music. This now gave him the
opportunity to become a better bass player
as well as bonding with life long friends
and partners. John also began experimenting
with sampling in the mid 90's with his Ensoniqe
ASR-10 and remains interested in electronic
music.
