The sounds of my songs come from a variety of sources. My studio is based around an Ensoniq TS-12, an Alesis QS7.1, a Roland JV-1010, plus an expanding assortment of various software synthesizers and effects. I'm starting to experiment more with my guitar, a Fender Strat that I record via a Line 6 Pod. I record primarily with Cubase SX.

I'm a musician and songwriter, primarily a piano/keyboardist with the occasional dabbling in other instruments. Rock bands were my main thing for a long time, most notably Vital Point. Still love that and always will, but for now I'm concentrating on solo material. This page features some of my more eclectic ambient sounds and ideas, along with some of the music I made with Vital Point.
I also enjoy collaborating with other artists ... I've been fortunate to work with some great musicians locally in the studio and around the world through the internet, including my longtime musical partner Laine Thompson, Mike Caro (New York), Bud Bennett (Virginia), Frank Farrow (Seattle), Paul Graham (Newcastle), and Jeza (London).
My influences and interests in music are varied and I'm open to just about anything. I look forward to whatever comes next for me in my musical path ... Someday I hope to learn to play Caravan like Duke. :)
