Welcome
Welcome to the website! I'm a musician living in Scotland, I make my living messing about with computers and sometimes by writing music. I've played in bands for years covering just about every style of music but rarely gig these days preferring to spend time in the studio at home.
I'm constantly tinkering with the site adding new features and content, please visit again.
My Album
If you like some of the demo tunes on the site why not buy the album. It's only $7 plus postage (in the UK that works out at less than £7 delivered).
You can buy it here. Also available on Amazon.
Working on the second album which will include vocals from your truly!
What I Play
I play most stringed instruments but mainly guitar and Tenor Banjo as you'll see from the photos. I mess around with piano / keyboards and use many computer based tools to write and record.
I've played most styles of music over the years - rock, jazz, classical, traditional and lots of session work and guest tours. TV and radio are fun too but haven't done either for years.
The Studio
Most of the recording is done at home on an array of PC's (and a Mac), with some external sound processing tools and numerous VST's. The workhorse is Sonar Producer Edition. The orchestral instruments you can hear in some of the demo tunes are from the outstanding Garritan Personal Orchestra.
At Work
I've worked in IT for many years supporting UNIX / Linux servers, software development and generaly doing clever things with computers.
As you can see from this I also design websites.
