VAMP is a word with many meanings. It alludes both to horror movies and femmes fatales, but also to renovating something by patching it up, or improvising a musical accompaniment. I draw my influences from many different kinds of music and experiment with various musical styles, so I thought a Vamp In A Box, that is to say a musical "patch" ready for use, might make an appropriate pen name/alias.

The recordings appearing here are the primitive versions of my songs, "naked" acoustic demo(n)s with just a guitar and a voice. While writing them, I heard them in my head in the form of dark pop/rock ballads (Paul Roland or Momus style), but in their current presentation they could be transformed into just about anything with the appropriate arrangements.
