Despite several lapses into professionalism, my music has always been a personal thing: pursued for reasons of curiosity, fascination, sensuality, and joy. I discovered early on that processes and synthesizers were perfectly suited to my purposes and have ever since been in thrall of sound devices of all kinds. Despite my very experimental nature with music, most of what I share is structured, melodic and literal. There is always an abstract layer present and it is that layer that is typically the inspiration behind each piece.
It is by now somewhat a cliché to cite Brian Eno's influence, but my history of influence with that artist goes back to the Roxy Music days. When it dawned on me what he was doing with a recording studio, the catalyst fully took hold, and I have been using processes in the creation of my music ever since.
