BIRMINGHAM (UK) THINK TANK SCIENCE MUSEUM CONCERT 6pm and 8pm SATURDAY NOVEMBER 26th 2011 - TICKETS ON SALE NOW!!!

USA EAST COAST CONCERTS MARCH 2012.

I got into music after seeing Mike Oldfield perform "Tubular Bells" on TV in 1974. I thought this was something wonderful - completely different from anything in the pop charts, no singing, repetitive without being monotonous, and incredibly emotional and expressive. I started to play guitar but within a few months heard something even more incredible - Tangerine Dream in session on the John Peel radio show. At the time I loved the Space Invaders arcade games and this seemed like their perfect soundtrack, full of strange sounds and textures. Of course synthesizers like the big Moog systems were extremely expensive, but I got hold of a couple of electric keyboards and tape recorders, then had kit synths and sequencers built for me.

At University I used their ARP Odyssey and other synths and created concert backing videos in the college TV studio. My first job was on an electronic music magazine and I reviewed all the new synths starting with the very first MIDI models as well as meeting some of the big names of the electronic music scene in the 1980's - Jean-Michel Jarre, Karlheinz Stockhausen, White Noise, Tangerine Dream and many others. I formed a label to help release my own music in 1985 and later released compilations including tracks personally offered by Isao Tomita, Keith Emerson, Rick Wakeman, Patrick Moraz, Karl Bartos of Kraftwerk and many others.

As well as playing many solo synthesizer concerts at venues including the London Planetarium, the Carnegie Science Center Planetarium Pittsburgh, the Franklin Institute Planetarium Philadelphia, and the Teatro Nacional, Brazilia I had the privilege of performing at the Royal Festival Hall, London with Damo Suzuki, the amazing improvising singer from the German rock band Can, and in Holland and the UK with legendary singer Arthur Brown.

I performed in the UK, Holland, Germany and China as part of the pioneering electronic music group White Noise and right now I'm developing several new solo album and band projects in the synthesizer, progressive rock and jazz/world fusion fields, including performances in the UK and USA of my own music and a piece by Terry Riley.

In October 2010 I became the first musician to release a CD based entirely on the Apple iPad with live performances in Holland, and will be giving more iPad concerts in 2011 under the title "Touch The Music".
