About Me

Karl performs his music solo and with his group The Liquid Mirror. Ranging from a duo with dazzling skinsman/vocalist Rob Binelli to 11-piece psychedelic orchestra, 'the mirrors' are a group that includes various combinations of sitar, santoor, ukelele, string-section, charango, spanish guitar, synthesizer, world percussion ... depending on the gig! As a guitar-player Karl has lent his melodic talents to the likes of The Justin Walshe Folk Machine and Sophie Moleta. He also composes music for film and theatre, most recently for the black-comedy/caberet "Polly's Waffle" (by Tif Barton) at the Blue Room.
