About Me


One bit of Normal Position who have made some nice music . Sometimes proudly silly - but then the balance of silly and serious, musicwise, is always unfairly stacked. Othertimes nice and warm. We've been inactive for a bit as we kind of all moved away from each other, geographically, rather than 'artistically'. Have a look and listen. Other members went on to do an album as Chin Chin which is splendid stuff.
Done various solo stuff as Kams on the Hippocamp netlabel - which is full of lovely free Mp3's. My personal musical zenith was reached within its hallowed servers... a cover of Will Young's 'Leave Right Now'. Arf arf.
I've composed music for Contemporary Dance performance as part of Fervent Defacto Dance company and as a member of the Coaxial Collective - Interesting collaborations.
I like sampling crunchy crisp packets and kitchen things and stuff. I mainly use my computer to make music - although I have been known to play the guitar, ukelele and electric harmonium quite poorly also.
