Waves of Nightingales

About Me

This project started a couple of years ago when I acquired an Indian instrument called a Bulbul Tarang . When I found out that the name translates as "Waves of Nightingales" I knew I had to base a musical project around it.
I also am currently a member of the duo One Human Minute (with Paul Dickow, aka Strategy ) and the group Smoke and Mirrors . Recently I have also played a few shows as a adjunct member of Moodring . Looking back, I was part of the long-running (but slow moving) psych group group the MomeRaths as well as the chaotic fireball that was Space Hawk (and reaching back further, A John Henry Memorial , , and Entertainment .) I have also appeared on recordings by some friends, namely The Plants , Rollerball , and Nudge .
Recently I've been joined by my wife, Sarah (Two Oboes, Space Hawk ) in my pursuit of the nightingales.
