I've played acoustic and electric guitar for many years, and more recently been playing keyboards and using computers to make music. I also compose in a number of styles including solo acoustic guitar, rock, blues, jazz, and experimental.

My long term musical influences include The Beatles, Joni Mitchell, King Crimson, Soft Machine, Rory Gallagher, John Martyn, James Taylor, and more recently I've discovered Kate Walsh and Andy McKee .

Second Life has got me back into recording and playing music regularly, although I've yet to play solo. I've streamchained with Djai Skjellerup, Montian Gilruth, Mimi Carpenter, Dolmere Talamasca and Maximillion Kleene. Also, I've added sounds to tracks by Grace McDunnough (Wish For You, Plain Jane And Proud Elizabeth, Fallen State Of Grace), Mimi Carpenter (You Never Know) and Djai Skjellerup (Make Me Feel I Belong, Make Up Your Mind, Hidden Depths). I produced Get It Together, a collaborative track, featuring 13 different Second Life musicians. I also produced Christmas All Year Through, another Second Life collaboration featuring 22 Second Life musicians.
