The Minotaur
NEWS   Hi guys I'm back after a little time away looking after my mother during her final days. Sadly she died in June last year. There are two of my new electronic tracks up and you should look forward to seeing some new organ music written performed by me on the site very seen.

Hi there!

I'm The Minotaur - composer of sundry classically oriented stuff.
Why this name?
I once had an adventure game company called Labyrinth Software, and my pseudonym at the time has stuck.
Do you play live?
Yes - Every Sunday at the church where I am Director of Music, I do quite a bit of cocktail piano work, and I also play keys with an AOR band.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It frees musicians from the need to find a major label to release their work.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
If the price was right!
Band History:
I've been composing stuff since I was 18 - most of it for teaching purposes, but some specifically with performance in mind.
Your influences?
Musical influences! Hmm! JS Bach, Olivier Messiaen, John Tavener and Benjamin Britten amongst many others
Favorite spot?
I think it would have to be the Yorkshire Dales
Equipment used:
I do most of my writing with Finale. I then transfer to Sonar 3 for tracking - I have 3 Yamaha XG sound modules and a Roland JV1010 which collectively take the strain of my creations!
Anything else...?
Not really - If I think of something I'll let you know!
