... with my obsessions of music, tech, astro and photography, while writing ambient music for the thinking introvert.
MUSIC
I enjoy composing electronica at the computer and performing jazz on the piano. Ambient Generation has been my electronica outlet since 2003.
I spend some time on music every day, and have done this for most of my life. It has given me many hours of happiness.
My electronica inspirations include Daft Punk, Vangelis, Mike Oldfield, Eric Serra, Underworld, Enigma, and many others. But also as a techie by equipment such as Roland’s latest Boutique series and Native Instruments plug-ins.
Other musicians I admire include early innovators such as Jelly Roll Morton, through Fats Waller and Louis Armstrong, to Charlie Parker, and onward to Joey Calderazzo with Branford Marsalis.
ASTRO
Since 2014 with a cheap telescope and inexpensive DSLR camera I have been imaging the night sky – puzzling at its shocking splendour.
PHOTOGRAPHY
In 2016 I started capturing images from around Manchester with a small compact camera. It always seems harder to properly appreciate the beauty of a home city.
TECH
I work in tech. One quote sums up everything I believe about it – “Computers aren’t the thing. They’re the thing that gets us to the thing.” – Joe MacMillan, Halt and Catch Fire
