I have a wide range of musical tastes and that is reflected in the diversity of the pieces presented here. I am a member of classical guitar group The York Guitar Quartet (also on Soundclick and at www.yorkguitarquartet.com), for whom I also compose. I play electric bass in various jazz and rock settings. I studied the technique of film composition with Music for the Media (www.musicforthemedia.co.uk) and have a Diploma in Film Composition with the University of Los Angeles.

I compose and record using a PC-based system: Sonar, Kontakt and Sibelius software. I try to use real instruments and voices wherever possible in the foreground and synthetic instruments, if necessary, in the background. This allows me to produce a professional-sounding result on a limited budget. I have been lucky to engage the services of many of my musician friends on these recordings and, of course, play on them myself. I play a range of 4, 5,and 6-string basses: fretted, fretless, acoustic and electric. I also use a MIDI bass guitar controller for some of the synthesised performances.

Many of these pieces are meant to be heard in the context of the moving picture. I am hoping to increase the numbers of videos on this page, but it is not always possible to get copyright clearance to do so. I can, however, supply a DVD with more video footage (for private viewing only) to interested persons. Email me for further information.
