Biography
My music draws its inspiration from the things I see, the things I remember, the things I read and the things I hear.
These ‘things’ have included:
paintings and sculptures – for example the works of Barbara Hepworth, Andy Goldsworthy, John Wells, Edward Hopper …
childhood and more recent memories of often small events which I still think of as significant.
essays, articles, poems – for example writings by Richard Mabey, Alain de Botton, Laurie Lee, Robert Frost, Mary Ashworth, Clive James, William Wordsworth …
the music of Bela Bartok, John Adams, late/middle Miles Davis, Brian Eno and his Bowie collaborations, Radiohead collectively and individually, John Fahey – the list goes on.
The world around me – from the tops of mountains to bus stops in quiet suburban streets.
