BIO
I've been writing music since the mid 90's and this is a collection of my solo work. There's tons more has still never seen the light of day. Mostly ambient ideas.

To date I've also been in 6 bands (discounting all the others where we never played in front of more than 10 people):

Elves In The Attic
An antidote to previous loud bands I've been in (my ears can no longer take it). Restricted to acoustic ideas, samples and unusual chord progressions - gradually expanding to incorporate cellists and other musicians. 

LISTING SHIPS
Nautical Post Rock band based in Oxford with Stuart Fowkes (bass, synths), Jim Hey (guitars), James Pamphlion (drums, guitar), Dave Balch (drums) & Russ Wainwright (drums). Different drummers at different times.

PIEXO
Long time collaboration with Jon Pound who's based in Weston Super Mare and builds excellent Lateral Sound guitar pedals.

SHAMBOLIC COLLECTIVE
Basic premise, let anyone join the band if they meet two basic criteria: 
1) They work for Oxfam. 
2) They own a musical instrument and/or can sing and aren't tone deaf. 
Far too many people to mention here but the core group were Al Kinley, Sally King, Nick Bryer, Emma Blunt, Andy Barnes, Jeroen Breman & Ben Morgan. I'm not going to begin to detail all the instruments we played.

THE TARTAN SQUIRRELS
Ceilidh Wedding band pulled together by caller Kim Wallace (Rowe). The rest of the band pretty much turned in to Shambolic Collective when she headed back to Scotland.

GECKO
My University band at Northampton
Graham Berridge (bass, vocals)
Paul Robinson (vocals, guitar)
Jez Lee (drums)

From Oxford's Nightshift magazine review January 2012:
Spinner Fall feature
former members of Oxford hardcore
pioneers Skydrive and Callous as
well as post-rockers From Light To
Sound but bear only a passing
resemblance to any of those, opting
instead for an intensely turbulent
noise that somehow marries
shoegaze glissando with a postpunk
brittleness and a throat-shreddingly
hectoring vocal
delivery that can variously remind
you of Ride, Husker Du and The
Fall, all at the same time. One
slower, almost robotic number
skirts close to Comsat Angels’
‘Independence Day’ but it’s when
they stamp on their myriad pedals
and just let the guitar soar that they
really envelope you.

Riffs! WE HAVE RIFFS!!!! Punky, spiky goodness. Haven’t seen them live yet, but if they can deliver the goods, they may just be bloody ace.

Hotel rooms can do strange things to you.
