Album Notes

Platinum Dragon17 - Graveyard Shift is the beginning of 3 parts of his story. Living in a life where everything seems right, where everything seems perfect. This is the place where he calls home. Little does he know, he is in a world in which everything that he believes in is nothing but a lie...

He started to create music since childhood by learning how to play the violin. Unfortunately he didn't really enjoy playing the instrument all that much and decided to quit his lessons. He then started to play the keyboard on his own and to this day does not take any lessons. A few years ago he started to work on the computer to create his music, using ACID pH1 and a few MIDI programs to allow him to record his "creations". He found great joy in being able to record and use samples to create a song that he could call his own. This was the beginning of Platinum Dragon17, and he hopes that his experience only grows from here...
