About Me

since the late 90's I have been making improv/noise music, originally with the band both holes (with michael morton and bjorn hatleskog) in aberdeen and dundee and more recently in edinburgh under the name ribjoint. I've also been known variously as esma and polyonly. As a painter i've lived, worked and exhibited in aberdeen, oslo, edinburgh and now currently based in stavanger. my pics section contains some paintings.
