Albums
My Band is me, in my little recording studio, ie spare room. I.m a postie to keep the $ trickling in and whenever I can, I'm in my room 'playing around'
The name 'through a glass darkly" is taken from 1 Corinthians 13:12 and alludes our seeing the things of God now very dimly.Band/artist history
No history worth speaking of.Have you performed in front of an audience?Only at church, drums. Love drumming as you can let yourself go. At times my projects are used in services
Your musical influences
Very wide, love most music, but especially jazz fusion. Early influences were Jethro Tull, Yes, Genesis, Sky, Focus. Fav artists now would be Lee Ritenour, Pat Metheny Jean Luc Ponty, Seal, Sade Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Larry Calton. Chick Corea, Phil KeaggyWhat equipment do you use?
I use mainly the Alesis Fusion synthesiser and Apple logic/garageband soft synths recording with Logic Express 8 on an imac running OSX leopard. Also play electronic drums, and Yamaha WX5 wind midi controllerAnything else?
I am a Christian, and that is my main inspiration and motivation for writing and recording music. Some recordings are more explicit than others, but all come out of my particular worldview. I am trying to fuse my too greatest interests - music and photography - to produce something worthy of my creator. I am on a learning curve so lets see what develops.READ MORE
