About Me

London-based guitarist/composer/laptopist/synth player/improviser/budding producer.

The music on this page was produced/performed by myself, other than the drums ( Adam Betts ) and cello ( Ben Trigg ). Gonna start playing this material live from late 2007.

I was also awarded a Musicians Benevolent Fund 'Development Award' in December 2006. See the blog for more details...
