Papamofoman (AKA Hadrian Cawthorne) has been producing bits of music on and off since bieng a ickle boy. Starting off with an old bashed up ten quid classical guitar, he gently graduated upwards.
In the late 80's, Papa got hold of some recording gear, top of the range second hand tape decks and a batterd old DJ mixer complete with crackly crossfader. There began his recording journey. When the wow and flutter became unbearable, the Papa of Miyamoto's began to re evaluate his rig. A string of blunders and misfortunes of modern technology finally wound its slimey path to these tunes laid before you now.
Papa has been in many bands, "send me no flowers", "Bob-a-fet", "serve cool" and more recently "miyamoto".
His music is an eclectic mish mash of organic and digital sounds flowing from momentary moods. A supposed fusion of all he has heard.
Influences, to name a few: F.Z, most Jazz fusion cronies, Ninja Tunes, corners and hydroponic flatuation.
