Superhuman is the solo work of guitarst/composer Dave Kelly from Dublin, Ireland. I've been playing guitar and experimenting with various forms of music from death metal and rock to trance and electronica over the past 10 years. Composing, playing and recording instrumental guitar music has always been my true calling so that's what I'm finally doing!.
I am currently writing and recording material for my debut cd - 'Deus Ex Machina' (God in the Machine) - maybe some day I will get it completed and 'out there'.
I am a 100% self-thought guitarist, I play by ear and know pretty much nothing about music theory - what little I do know is from piano lessons I took s a kid, Bach and Mozart mainly. I've developed as a guitarist by being able to see the tones on the fretboard in patterns and from having a good ear - don't ask me to the name the strings on my guitar because I probably couldn't!
Out of the massive rig of rack gear in my home studio I pretty much exclusively use a Rocktron Prophesy II to for all tone generation now although some tracks like 'The Futurist' were recorded using a Mesa Boogie Triaxis. As far as guitars go I pretty mostly use Ibanez although I also have a 7 string EBMM Petrucci and a Dean MAB-1 'Armoured Flame' in my home studio. The Ibanez axes in my collection include a Jem BRMR 'Bad Horsie', Ibanez Prestige custom (EMG 81/85 pups) and a 7 string Universe customised with Evolution 7's - the Universe is my favourite!
I've only recently started doing collaborations with other MP3unsigned artists, the first of which is a rocking track called 'In Honor' which I had the honor of performing along with the sites foremost virtuosos - Dan E Peck, Mark Holly and Rich (iOD!NE) Ramsey. I'm always up for experimenting with other musicians so feel free to send me a PM or email to get something started.
Thanks for listening, leave me a comment and rating if you want and I'll check out your page.
All music written and performed by Dave Kelly (drums, bass, rhythm guitar, lead guitar, arranging, mixing & production)- with the exception of live drums on 'Unleashed' courtesy of Steve Ryan.
