Band/artist history
Born at a very early age; classical piano lessons as a child; first band experience at 15; gigging professionally by the age of 17. After 10+ years of professional work, I went to study music "properly" at a conservatorium. Returned to music work although recording work has since taken priority over live playing.
Your musical influences
Keith Emerson (of ELP) was a formative influence and remains a favorite even if my own style of playing and composing has moved away from that influence. These days I am more influenced by modern jazz drummers (eg: Bob Moses and Bill Bruford) and improvising rock bands like King Crimson, Soft Machine, et.al. Television music of the 60s has also long been an influence for the way it successfully managed to blend classical and jazz styles (eg: Lalo Schifrin)
What equipment do you use?
Being the old Luddite I am, I still use an Atari running Notator software for all my sequencing. I've never sold a single piece of equipment I ever owned except, lamentably, for a MINIMOOG I used to have when I was a teenager. Most recording and mastering is done on a Roland VS1680, although I have recently begun working more and more with Cakewalk's Sonar DAW.
