High there :-) Thanks for dropping by.
I am a composer and producer of electronica and psychedelic dance music. As a musician, I've been playing for almost 30 years now and I'm principally a drummer (drums being the first instrument I learned), playing both full-kit and various types of percussion and hand-drums including darbuka/doumbek, djembe and tabla, but I also plays piano and synths, acoustic and electric guitar and bass.
I'm currently in 4 amazing bands, all different genres, but all with a psychedelic and spacey twist!
- Synths, percussion, writing and production
- Percussion and synths
More about the band here; href="http://www.dreammachineonline.co.ukDream Machine Online
- Synths, percussion and bass
Champignon - Synths and percussion
I also guest appear regularly with the wonderful Paul Didge, supporting the hypnotic sound of the didge with tribal ryhthms. Other bands I have had the pleasure of playing with include Ozric Tentacles, Akahum, G-Delic and also The Space Pirates :-)
I've enjoyed playing at many of my favourite festivals including Glastonbury Festival,the Glade Festival for the last 4 years running, Sunrise Celebration, Waveform Project, Eastern Haze, Life Festival (Ireland), Wickerman and many more besides. You will also find me regularly playing for the Synergy Project and Tribe of Frog, as well as Liquid Records, Twisted Records and Misztifiedmind Records events. Come and check it out sometime and expect to get a groove on!
