About this website . . .
I have been a composer since the late fifties, starting out writing jazz tunes for our group, The Newcastle Jazz Quartet. In 1963, I heard Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring" for the first time and it changed my musical life. From that point, I stopped playing tenor sax, and writing jazz tunes. I devoted all of my efforts to composing avant garde art music.
Since then, I've composed hundreds of works ranging from full symphonic to electronic and computer-enhanced, multi-media pieces. I've even composed some EDM and House music. I've expanded my capabilities from pen and paper to a full Digital environment in my home studio. I can go from composing and notating a piece, to mixing it in my DAW, then mastering it for publishing on this website.
At this point in my life, I'm much more interested in creating music that satisfies my own aesthetic sensibilities. I don't write for any specific demographic of music listeners, nor do I focus one any one genre. I write what I want to. I follow virtually no musical rules or systems. It's all about what appeals to me personally. This website contains my entire catalogue of compositions. I offer them to whomever wishes to listen.
I charge no fees for downloading my work. In fact I encourage it. I'm certainly not in it for the money or recognition. If people like my work, I'm most grateful and pleased. If they don't, there's such an abundance of music in the world that I'm sure they'll find what they like. At the same time, I encourage you to get out of your listening comfort zone and try something new and different. If I had to characterise my music, I would call it Avant Garde. I've been told that some of my music is an acquired taste, like Scotch whiskey. I can live with that.
