About Me

I'm several things, none of which seem to allow me the time to be the others but primarily, I am:A Teacher (Of Sound, Film & Web Design) A DJ (Of some merit...well I've been one for about 15 years and it makes me happy that I play out every week and still enjoy it, and that others seem to enjoy it too.)A Film-maker (Although it's been a little while...) I recently completed a music video for the band Cap Pas Cap which will be online in the coming weeks. NO wait... Here it is. .. A Producer (Of my own Music, and for others...will add some soon)I've finished a few different things recently. I produced and recorded the last Groom album "All this happened, more or less" and recently completed recording of their new mini album. Check out their musics below. I produced the first album from Norwegian Splatterfolk duo Thinguma*jigsaw "Awake in Whitechapel" excerpts of which can be heard on their myspace. Both bands do really good things and I'm delighted I've worked with them. An Animal Lover. This is a ladybird on my knee drawn by Emily.The next picture is a pot calling a kettle black.

And I made this little fellow to illustrate us both.
