A Newbie Hi all

[mcconnell]

Hi all,I just joined this forum and have been a Taxi member since around last Christmas. It´s good to be here!Let me briefly introduce myself...My name is Craig McConnell and am a professional film music composer/musician. I originally come from Scotland and currently reside in Geneva, Switzerland, having spent a number of years in the U.S. I have also recently founded the progressive rock band CYNOSURA having missed the adrenaline rush of live performance. Spending so much of my time in the recording studio, it´s a welcome release for my creative energies in a live context!If you are interested, please feel free to check the following website containing examples of my work:1. Music composition: http://www.craigmcconnell.com or http://www.myspace.com/craigmcconnell22. Live performance: http://www.cynosura.ch or http://sonicbids.com/cynosuraI look forward to hearing back from some of you and wish you all the best in your creative endeavors!All the very best,Craig

I'm in the Rhône-Alpes about an hour from Lyon...lost in the hills!Thank you for your wishes, hope to see you around.Lindsey

Hi Craig! Welcome aboard! Your site is very beautiful. I loved the intro, btw. Went through your tunes one by one (which I didn't have time for but I was so intrigued by the site I couldn't resist!).....my faves were Without You, Les Chant de (du?) Sirenes and Company K. Haunting stuff, dude. Really nice soulful blues goin' on. Beautiful.

Hi "squids",Thank you for your kind comments regarding my website and work.I am just listening to your music right now. Very unique, original and I love the melodies which are not obvious. I feel this draws the listener into your world...My favorite tracks on your MySpace site are "Good Intentions" (I like the way the intro gives way to space when the rythm quicks in) and "Razor's Edge"... you have an excellent voice!Good luck and every success with all your musical endeavors!Cheers,Craig
