My Music
I have been playing the guitar since the age of 8 and playing keyboards since my teens. I use Cubase SX with soft synths, play the guitar directly in then add effects. I have a Ion drum kit which has pads and a MIDI interface.
My musical influences are varied but I'm mainly influenced by 1970's and 1980's Jazz/Rock musicians such as John Mclaughlin, Jean Luc Ponty, Pat Metheny, Lyle Mays, Brand X, Bruford, Gong, Steely Dan, Return to Forever. On the rock side, Frank Zappa, Todd Rundgren, Steve Vai, Pink Floyd, Alan Holdsworth, Steve Hillage, Genesis, Hatfield and the North, Egg, National Health, Emerson Lake and Palmer. I could go on forever! But there has been so much good music in the past... Where has it gone? Well hopefully it appears somewhere in the music I write, I'd like to think so.

This was my first CD, which I produced in my home studio. I recorded the tracks on the PC using Cubasis Audio software. The final mix was done in a Wave editor..
