I've been making musical noises since the late 70s. What comes out is sometimes experimental or dance, but mostly it's New Age / Spiritual/ Ambient/ cosmic electronic music. I tend to work on themes, they are not particularly important for a listener but they help me retain some kind of focus. "The Lost Harvest" is mostly about reflecting outer landscapes within, and projecting inner states onto the world. It's also about the loss of a generation and a way of life as a result of the First World War. It's about the love of the young soldiers had for their homeland. "Dreamers" is about sleep, dreaming and memories, those things that are just out of reach of our consciousness. "Strange Stars" took a step back to a more electronic form, exploring inner and outer space. I also have an ongoing relationship with www.ambientmusicgarden.com to release music for therapy (not available on soundclick)

Story behind the song
"Please exit via the gift shop" was a frequently signed request on our trips round various tourist destinations last year. It soon became my personal mantra, particularly as I realised don't we all at one time exit through the gift shop? It became the obvious title for this hotch potch piece, partly because of the environmental recordings I made at the beach at Bournmouth, from a minature train at Bleinheim and so on that meant for me it captured the spirit of that holiday. The other connection was that I used it to try out various little gifts, new bits of equipment or older things I had but had never quite found a place for. All of these were added in, over doing it until I ended up with a sticky sweet mess that you then find stuck down the side of the car seat when the holiday is over.
