Thank you to Jon for leading me to see this touching film. It was made in 1992, the girl speaking Severn Cullis-Suzuki continues to rally for her beliefs today. A trully great person.
I grew up around music, (at least until I took my mother's record player apart to see how it worked)
I eat, sleep, breathe music, it is my sanctuary, my comfort, my smile, my tears, my true means of expression, though it can be unnerving exposing your inner self to the world....
10 years ago a friend took me into the studio, showed me how to turn everything on, gave me a ten minute lesson in Cubase on the trusty old Atari, and left the room.
6 hours flew by, I was completely hooked, I had found the path I had been searching for since I was a child.
From there on, that was it, every spare penny, begged and borrowed, scrimped and saved went towards pieces of kit. An Atari, a sampler, and an old roland keyboard were my first pieces of kit, from there every penny I shouldn't have spent, every spare moment I have goes on letting my emotions flow through sound.
So here they are, I hope you feel them as much as I felt making them........Enjoy.

Hi Auditory Canvas! Thanks for the friendship. Please come and listen to my song "Roses" and take those roses as a present to the person of your choice!
It's impossible to put me in a trance cause I either get bored or impatient with the beats....but your sound is more tranquil so it's impossible not to listen to!
Also I've heard of burning man my friend goes up there from Wormtown I think....I've only staffed the Gathering of the Vibes for Wormtown....if any of this makes sense o___O
Cheers. Much appreciated, thank you. Really enjoyed listening to your tunes. Really really. Maybe you won't want to but do get in touch if there's anything of mine you want to remix - I'd love to hear that. Cheers, Wayne
