About Me |
|
| Thanks for stopping by the official SW MySpace page. There are other MySpace pages for Porcupine Tree, Blackfield, No-Man, and Bass Communion, as well as some of the other artists he has worked with, and you can link to those pages below.
However, please note that most of the time it’s not actually Steven logging into this page to check the messages and comments, but anything of interest will get through to him (and that does NOT include requests to listen to your music sorry!) Steven is currently working on his first solo album, with which he plans to push his production and writing into some new (and possibly completely unlistenable!) territories. Note that this project is not connected with the Cover Version CD singles, which will continue as a separate series. This page will carry more info and audio as the work in progress nears completion. |
