Welcome to my world of music …
 
It is a world which borrows mostly from rock, European classical music, jazz, grunge and the occasional bit of folk, so if you are looking for some raw blues, or rhythm ‘n’ blues, or rap/hip-hop, you probably won’t find it here.
 
My musical tastes are heavily influenced by West Coast music of the ‘60s and British rock of the ‘70s, both of which plundered many influences. My writing is most driven by what arrives in my head when I am asleep, when I am out walking, or when I sit down to watch a play in the theater (and then have to spend the next three hours remembering the song for when I get home). I occasionally write on a guitar or on a keyboard, but even there I usually only play a couple of notes or chords, and then write the rest in my head.

Anyway, here is more on each of my albums to date, with music samples. Hope you enjoy some of them.

Rock animals

A series of rock stars as animals, birds, fish etc.

Why? Dunno. It just seemed a fun thing to do.

albums

All songs are recorded at Rabbit Studios, using real rabbits.

No rabbit was deliberately harmed during the recording of
these songs, although a couple of them did die along the way
​(see 'Punctures and snakes').
