I've been making music
since the end of the 70s, first making various tape pieces and
adding various synth noises to "left field get togethers". Right at the
beginning of the 80s I got my first small synth and started doing odd tapes
and music for events. I was in and out of a few bands, but then decided to work on my own.
I managed to produce a tape
"Paperworlds" in 1983 and got a favourable review from Electronic Music
Maker and was featured on Inkeys. That first tape was a real mix with mostly
short light tracks. "Crystallography" followed in 1985, with a darker mood,
both in style and the sounds. Then came "K2" (named after the mountain)
which used more equipment and started moving towards a "New Age" type of
sound. In 1986 "Like the Passing of Summer Rain" was
released on the Electronical Dreams label and consisted of mainly mid length
melodic works. "From the Trees" came out in 1988, again on Electronical
Dreams, followed in a similar vein.
In 2003 I went digital/software and by 2004
I had started composing again. The music is coming in distinct themes, all
are I guess about inner landscapes as a reflection of the worlds outside.
"The Lost Harvest" (2005) 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" (2007) is about sleep, dreaming and
memories, those things that are just out of reach of our consciousness.
