Location: Reading, Berkshire, UK
Category: Film Composers
Styles of Music Composed: Experimental, avant-garde, instrumental

Composing Background or Education: Self-taught, learning from over 15 years of experimenting with sounds, moods and second-hand instruments.

Musical Equipment and Instruments: Piano, Telecaster, nylon guitar, steelstrung guitar, electric basses, acoustic bass, bouzouki, clarinet, flute, oboe, saxophone, violadjembes, bongos, snare drum, tambourine, maracas and an assortment of improvised percussive objects.

Philosophy as a Composer: I believe a great sound design can be far more effective than any musical composition for a film or TV show, which is a weird thing to say considering my desire to be a film composer.

Additional Information: I should point out that I have very limited experience with making music for films, but I would like to think that I have a modest knowledge of movies which should hold me in good stead, as does an instinctive scoring skill.
