About Me

I love making music, every day, even in silence. My songwriting and singing has taken many forms; solo and in various groups; 'straight' music to multimedia performance art and soundscaping. I love collaborating ........................Herstoric incarnations and groups include: Children's Television Workshop ( experimental ), Waste the Earth ( sideswipe rock), Lunam Pool (lyrical gypsy folk), Lillian Sky (tribal folk wahine), Secret Suburban Garden ( orchestrated fringe) ; and currently collaborating with ecophonik ( Port-Chalmers based dub-breaks trance electronica producer ), laughin' gas ( Dunedin based lounge/dub/ d&b mashed electronica producer), Terra Nine ( Auckland based ambient trance, psytrance producer), and Nightshade ( Lakonic + Woosh et al) Dunedin based, ( predominantly ) drum and bass producers . I immerse myself in tune and love to improvise in the recording studio as well as live. The tunes on this page are largely unmastered and unreleased ( apart from Lunam Pool - produced by Forbes Williams) . The finished products will be released in the coming months. I got my MySpace Layout at HerMyspaceLayouts.com.
