The mind works behind one's back...

Welcome. Here you may find information about my current activities as a composer, performer, writer and speaker. If you have a project, such as a video or animation which is in need of a cinematic score, or simply wish to see/hear what I am up to in my work, feel free to look around, send me a note and/or subscribe. Or simply say "hi"--I have never met a stranger.

 

Very Best!

Music Composition is for me the most convenient access point of all of these disciplines.
