My name is David Mallory. There are dozens of David Mallorys on the net so I go by the stage name Meglodave. This is a self deprecating name I gave myself over 20 years ago. I suffer from a form of erotomania. I have the mistaken belief that someone is in love with me and she gives me messages on the radio. I am aware of this but still Ive been unable to shake it. As a method of coping, I have taken to making and listening to my own music using GarageBand. Most of my stuff is instrumental, but I have a few where I sing. I have a whole day worth of my own music to listen to. Most of it Ive made available here with Creative Commons share alike. I Believe in Music was my first cover and the process of getting it liscensed made me rethink my game. Ive decided to post some of my music on another service where I can make it available for streaming services. This costs me a lot of money so sadly I have to charge for downloading on a select few things now. I didnt perform so all my revenue is going to come from sales, keep that in mind. Thank you for spending time on my site and thank you for listening. There is a lot here, I hope you find something you like.
Band/artist history
I have been putting my music on the net since the late 90s. I started with my own website with real audio. I hooked up with SoundClick in 2000. I was inactive for several years, but I picked it back up when one of my friends died. I make music mainly for me. I suffer from severe paranoia and it helps me cope. I also listen while walking and I walk longer and farther. I call it making tea because I am involved in the process and its not pop music. I am grateful SoundClick keeps my music and hasnt deleted anything since I started 20 some years ago. Thats why I became a pro member and promote from time to time. I dont feel bad about cheating. I waited 30 years for the technology to be where I knew it would be one day. I am not ashamed to say GarageBand is my instrument.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
My skills are more productive than performance oriented.
Your musical influences
The first band I really liked was The Who. I like the Psychedelic Furs, Stevie Wonder, Radiohead, David Bowie, and the like, but I dont try to play what I listen to.
What equipment do you use?
I mostly use GarageBand on iPad. No external Instruments. Some of the earliest songs were done with my casio. I really like GarageBand on the iPad. It fits me perfectly.
Anything else?
I get ghosts in my music from time to time. I think there are musicians who would of wanted to be a musical hermit like me. I think they smile on me sometimes.
