Not a live performer, not enough hands to play everything at once.

It makes your music more accessable to the world at large.

I love Venice (the real one in Italy).
I also love the Côte d´Azur.
And of course my birthplace and my brothers place in England.

A good old fanshioned piano and my Yamaha keyboard for composing, then transposing and arranging on the PS2. Recording and remixing on my Laptop.

I don´t use samples that one gets in most music programms, because I need to break them down to their individual notes. I like to have a melody in most cases. So it takes me a while before I have the finished result.
