About Firebrats

 I'm left handed but I play musical instruments right handed. As a youngster the instruments at my disposal were made to be played right handed and as a result, I never learned to play left handed. I used to think I was ambidextrous, but clearly, that was only half true. I also like to stay up late and work on things that seem to go nowhere when daytime distractions are factored in. I usually can be found at the computer laboring over some sort of musical task in the cool, late hours of the evening. I record audio for any useful application; demos, commercial, theater, jingles, backing tracks. The home studio is equipped with computers and a 24 track digital recorder. Another task the computers are set up for is graphic art and i do art work for web pages, band posters and whatever. I'm the bassist for a few bands, The Dusk Devils, O.P. Stylee, The Silence Club, Sammy Joe and The Pioneers, and I've filled in (on bass ) at a few gigs for Mystic Red. Things I do that won't fit into the other projects are designated to my solo project, Firebrats. I also write and record the music heard in O.P. Stylee songs, as well as contributing some of the lyrical content.
Hi, I'm Mark. I make music on my computer and in various music venues with friends who are, well, musicians. All music and words on the music player are written and performed by Mark Powell, except
vocals on the song "Today" performed by Brett. Listen to these songs often and they will become a part of your life you look back on with fond memories. maybe.

The isle of Bakersfield.  I'm  here now. I thought you knew that. I've just had that for my sign in name for a long time & didn't feel like changing it.
