About Me

I am a musician and slightly eccentric and philosophical person from New Zealand.

I make songs using basses and a guitar and wires and effect pedals and voices which are channelled into my computer whch is preprogrammed (by me) to play along.

I have an unusual sense of humour and a crazy imagination which I like to indulge.

I also play bass and sing in a band called Xenu, write a jam comic called MoXon with Brent Willis about an explodng Alien and have made music for a couple of plays at Bats.

I have a Solo Album out called Thankyou to the Monsters. send me a message if you are interested in a copy.

I speak English and German and I am currently learning Icelandic.
