Bio:
I make music for pleasure, usually on my own. I do sometimes jam with a local celtic group, playing bodhran and 12 string guitar. In my 4th year of university I had a project with some friends to make a synthesizer which produced chords by detecting the fundamental note of a bass guitar. I could see the possibilities for creating infinite varieties of music using electronics and so I bought my Roland synth not long after university.

Along the way, I also taught myself a bit of piano and celtic harp. I have performed in coffeehouses and at weddings playing guitar along with a vocalist, and in high school was in the stage band and concert band playing trumpet and baritone (which was a blast!). My son and I have collaborated on music as well, which is a rather special way to spend time together.

I like almost any style of music and have more influences that can reasonably be listed.
