Music
Over the last couple of years, I've been experimenting with sound as a compliment to my visual work. The results so far include an undisciplined mix of songwriting, electronic music and soundscape. While some are more accomplished than others, the files produced inevitably remain unfinished sketches, available at any time for deconstruction and reconstitution. I've always been attracted to 'traditional' instruments, from piano, guitar, ukulele, to percussion and whistle, but recently I've been teaching myself the techniques of sound sampling and mixing, armed with a digital camcorder from which I can extract sounds. The files are freely downloadable in mp3 format. Keep an ear out for updates on this page.. plans for the not-too-distant future include collaborations!
