About MPHMUSIC as an artist
Like a certain Genesis hero of mine, I am a classically trained guitarist who also likes to rock! Prog is my favourite genre, though as you can see from my friends, my tastes include electronica, ambient, classical, etc.
About MPHMUSIC as a media composer
I became interested in writing for film on my Music Technology degree course and since graduation I have been working on a number of independent films - you can find out more about these on my credits page www.mphmusic.co.uk/html/credits.html. As well as this, I have been studying for a Diploma in Media composition, mentored by award winning media composers Richard Attree and Guy Michelmore.

This is the album from which Nettles in the Stream comes and features acoustic guitar music performed in a style which combines modern influences with classical techniques.
This EP features electroacoustic song One World and also features Fly on the Wall - one of my more accessible electroacoustic tracks! The music on this EP is highly experimental and is rich in deep emotional meanings.
