The first year at the University of Glamorgan, probably late 2002. I only attended 3 lectures or so my entire career, preferring instead to plumb the depths of my soul and examine my mind from both micro and macro viewpoints, like a man standing between 2 parallel mirrors. After doing something that tends to keep you awake for too long, then doing it again, again, & then again. A marathon. 3 days later and still no sleep, a spider absailed down the curtains in my Halls cell-like box room. For some reason this produced an intense few hours of nightmarish arachnids lurking on ceiliings, chasing me down corridors, webs thick across the common room. God knows what I looked like, tearing wild-eyed past the silent doored & slumbering student rooms. Eventually managing to wake Matt, Apprentice Green's drummer, multi-instrumentalist & all round good egg. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the spider invasion had not occurred & I had not, in fact, been whisked off as the Devil's plaything to the caverns of Hell. Even the original rappelling spider was actually a bit of fluff suspended on a thread of curtain material. Ah well. Stay in school kids. 

The song was written a year or so later, morphing through a few forms. Special mention goes to Brummy's loping bassline & Matt's guitar overdubs. All recreated here. I have no idea how I wrote the piano riff. Probably just mashed the keys until it sounded good. Much like I do now.

Rather Be In Berlin

'Picture of You' revolves around creating an idealised image of somebody based on interactions through a phone screen rather than meeting them in person. The idea of a meet cute is ancient history thanks to various dating apps that have become available.

This song acts as a poignant commentary on how digital platforms have transformed the landscape of romance. While they offer new opportunities for connection, they also challenge us to consider the value of authenticity and genuine human interaction in building meaningful relationships.

Picture of You

An experimental electronic techno track, hints of ambience and glitch.

Lyrics: 

I'm the cliche, doomsday, quit that job. 
I'm not ok on this clock
How dare you be real when everything's ironic
The Mad Hatter's tea is quite the tonic.

Can you beat The Wall?
Can you beat The Wall?

I'm kinda happy but I'm kinda broke, 
Trying to make my way in the big fat smoke. 
Dear the big boys, making noise, drop a key
in the wishing well of my fantasy. 

Can you beat The Wall?
Can you beat The Wall?

I'm the freeze frame, no shame, solve the riddle:
Who's right on the edge but from a town in the middle?
No I'm not sorry, I'm not done, 
Blow a big kiss, never miss, flex those guns

Can you beat The Wall?
Can you beat The Wall?
Can you beat The Wall?
Can you beat The Wall?

The Wall

Birdie

I like the 9 to 5
Putting it all on the hard drive
I like the 6 to 10
I watch a movie and then
I goto bed at 11
Pray to the folks who art in heaven
From midnight till 3
I pray for those in purgatory
From 4 o'clock to 8
I pray for those for whom prayers came too late

This piece was originally composed entirely on guitar – electric guitar, to be precise – and was first released in that form. However, from the very beginning, I envisioned it as a classical orchestral work. Thanks to today’s technology, I was finally able to bring that vision to life.

Symphony of Separation portrays the emotional conversation between a couple on the verge of breaking up. The melody reflects their final dialogue – moments of blame, attempts at reconciliation, and the painful realization that it’s over. It is a musical depiction of the end of a relationship.

The Symphony of Separation (Orchestra Version)

I make handmade music and write all my lyrics myself — sometimes complex, sometimes simple, sometimes raw, sometimes clean. Always how it comes to me when inspiration strikes.

I’m a guitarist at heart — all my music is composed and recorded on guitar, shaped by feeling and instinct. Occasionally, I use electronic elements to expand the sound, but the guitar remains the core of my creative process.

I don’t follow a fixed style. My roots in composing soundtracks for films and audio dramas still echo through my music today — you might hear cinematic undertones, storytelling textures, and atmospheric layers.

I’m not chasing fame or big money. What truly drives me is creative connection — genuine collaboration, shared moments of inspiration, and the spark that happens when people create together.

I love helping other artists shine — I write the songs, they own the stage.
What I create are soundtracks for the cinema in your mind — and mine.
