Long time acoustic guitar strummer went electronic several years ago: these are some of my latest creations. I would like to call these songs "singer songwriter material with fully fleshed electronic arrangements", but that's quite a mouthful so I call them simply 'alternative'.
The 'folktronic' material (traditional songs with electronic arrangements) have been moved to
a page here on SoundClick called 'YMMV'.
If there's anything that catches your ear, drop me a line.

Why this name?
My parents gave it to me
Do you play live?
Sometimes - but as an accompanying guitarist, not as an electronic musician
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It enables people to get a taster of new music. For most musicians, I imagine that the real problem is finding an audience and not the method of distribution.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
No
Your influences?
I wish I knew. To my ears, there is virtually no influence from the music that I hear on the music that I make. Probably The Beatles were a great influence in terms of aesthetic and formal style. The music that I make has a classic sound, which is to say that it does not adhere to the current trends in sound; it is neither present nor past but simply personal.
Equipment used:
MIDI sequencer + Reason. 35 years experience playing the guitar.
Anything else...?
A reasonably formal education in music theory (although not university level) both helps and hinders. It makes my music harmonically rich, which to my ears is a good thing but seems slightly anachronistic.
