Artist description Keyboard player, currently living in Ireland. I work in the MIDI format and enjoy making music to suit an atmosphere. Usually my intention is to fit the music to a scene or sequence of some kind in a video game. My aim is always to make the music melodic and enjoyable to listen to in its own right though, so I try not to allow the pursuit of atmosphere, to override melodic value.

Music Style Atmospheric instrumental music best suited to games or films, but ranging in style from piano based and ambient to techno and trance.

Musical Influences Many progressive influences such as Camel, Mike Oldfield and Rick Wakeman as well as various Game and Film soundtrack composers.

Artist History I have always been a big fan of video game music and film scores. Like everyone else I enjoy a good song, but I always prefer to listen to instrumental music of an ambient or atmospheric kind. My favourite musicians are Camel, Mike Oldfield and Rick Wakeman each of whom has a unique style ranging from Rock/Jazz to New Age. When I was in school I had the chance to take up playing the bugal which after a little while I gave up for the flute. I really loved playing the flute, but I had to give it up when my family moved to Ireland. Eventually I had the opportunity to purchase an instrument of my own and I settled on keyboards. We had owned a few keyboards in the past but no one in my family played seriously. Being very much into computers I was aware of MIDI and thought a keyboard would offer me the most flexibility, even though I obviously longed to get a flute as well. I started recording music as soon as I was good enough to play decent music and a few ideas were coming to me. I always steered in the direction of game music. Several years on I have just about 70 original MIDI tunes of different styles. I have composed music for several freeware game projects and repeated requests for music to suit various games has accelerated the growth of my music both in style and quantity. More recently I managed to purchase a flute, but unfortunately it isn't coming back to me as quickly as I thought it would. Maybe, soon enough I will make music using the flute as well. I hope you enjoy the music I make available here.
