Neville Jobson

I like to explore the tonality of music. Listening to a composition should take you on a journey of the senses and emotions. I aim to achieve this in my compositions.

This is too small a space to write my autobiography, but here is a concise version: At age 11 I began to learn clarinet, soon becoming a member of the school wind band playing Glen Miller, Sousa and more contemporary classics. Leaving school, I began to learn guitar, together with some friends. To add a little variety to our playing, I also learnt to play keyboards. I played in various local bands, one of which became quite popular locally. I became a partner in a video production company, specialising in the audio side and contributing original compositions to many of the productions. A local theatre group were in need of assistance to provide sound and lighting for their productions. I was able to offer my services and as well as providing all of the sound effects and designing and controlling the lighting, I also contributed original music for each of their productions.

I haven't played live regularly since 1990, before which I was playing a minimum of 2-3 nights per week. It gave me a lot of very special memories. Given the right circumstances and with the right people, playing live again would be a great experience.

A huge variety, and in no particular order: UK, Genesis, Yes, ELP, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Jethro Tull Pat Metheny, Chick Corea, Weather Report, Keith Jarrett, Art Tatum, Stanley Clarke John Martyn, Fairport Convention, Ralph McTell, Simon and Garfunkel Bach, Beethoven, Debussy, Satie etc.
