I am a classical digital musician, creating recordings of piano masterpieces and a composer of classical, new age, meditation music (). My was a chapel choirmaster and wrote many hymns. Lliving in the same house as my grandparents I found myself composing music from an early age "in my head". My favourite classical composers are Schubert, Beethoven, Tchaikovsly and Dvorak. In the 1970s I was exposed to Tangerine Dream, Steve Reich, Isao Tomita, then later, new age, electronica, minimalism transformed my musical outlook. With the rise of PCs, music sequencers, midi and digital audio I have been able to transcribe many of my early classical pieces as well as compose pieces for the new medium.

Anything else?
There are really only two types of music: 1. Music to “upliftâ€, to assist meditation or spiritual contemplation (to “chill out†is the modern term). 2. Music to accompany fighting and dancing; rhythmic - to make one’s feet tap, to energize and make you want to move! I don’t particularly like genres that lack the above qualities. Long live foot-tapping rhythms, uplifting melodies and spine-tingling harmonies.
