About Me

I am an amateur musician from Southport in the UK ...which is a seaside town near to Liverpool, the city where I was born (circa 1955). My love for music has been with me from an early age. I have played rhythm guitar since the age of 14 and enjoyed many years as a semi-professional guitar/vocalist.
I started playing keyboard a couple of years ago and now produce my own music using mainly software. I am constantly upgrading my home set-up and hope to record my guitar-based compositions (written years ago) sometime in the future. I haven't performed live for a few years now, but haven't ruled it out for the future.
My musical tastes are numerous and range from classical to electronica. I am constantly in awe of the magnificent musicians from around the world and discovering this new medium has changed my whole life.
I took my name from the film: Blade Runner and the composer: Vangelis - I love the film and the brilliant soundtrack ..... I am a fan of them both.
Although I have really enjoyed producing the tracks on this page, my ambition is to produce a track that I am 100% happy with ... and as time passes - the learning curve seems less steep.
Thank you for visiting my page ...... I hope you enjoy the tunes!
