I started creating music on my old PC back in 2002 using DAWs such as Buzz, Fl Studio and Reason. As my artist name suggest I mostly compose tunes that have an ambient edge. My main passion is creating soundscapes, be they soft drifting drones/piano pieces/heavily synth driven, weirdly abstract and classical and orchestral pieces. I mainly compose using apps on my IPad but also make use of whatever instruments I have lying around such as my Pocket Operators, Modal Craftsynth, my favourite is an Early Learning Centre keyboard.

In the past my tracks have been played in BBC Radio Oxford and BBC 6 Music. Over the years I have collaborated with people from all over the world. Please message me if you would like to collaborate 😀

    The Far Tower In Fluorescence (with Soundpainter)

    A few weeks ago my music friend Soundpainter (aka Andrew Janik) got in touch about using one of my tracks from my Sound Installations album as he thought that it would work well with the track that he was producing. This is the result. It has been great fun going back and forth with Andrew exchaning ideas.
