"I have been intrigued by the ability instrumental music has to evoke an emotional response in the listener; from subtle to profound. My journey took me from Medieval recorder music to 20th century avante garde, from Delta blues to movie music themes. I encountered the instrumental traditions of Africa, Australia, Ireland and Japan. It was my discovery of New Age and Ambient music in the 1990's that showed me there is an audience for my compositions. I found my voice in my search for an expression of that which is common in us all".
