Hi, thanks for visiting my page!
I've set up this page to feature some of my solo compositions and projects I do. You will find quite varied music such as piano compositions, loop based electronic music and pop/rock songs on here. I used to play in several bands over the years, the latest which was Opal Sky. (see video down below) I released several albums with other bands as well and joined Edinburgh oddball-hip-hoppers Stanley Odd a few months ago. We recently launched our debut single which you can check below as well. I'm also looking into starting a studio project/solo album creating "cinematic" sounds. If you're interested in mixing my influences such as Sigor Ros, Elbow, Mew, Erik Satie, Porcupine Tree etc with yours - and generally love creating beautiful cinematic music, please get in touch to possibly collaborate on this. I uploaded a rough demo track (without vocals/guitar) of what it could sound like...
Stay in touch,
T.
A
4 track EP, titled Call Signs, it provides the perfect introduction to
