Inspired by writing for beginners this started off as a little waltz and was extended into the piece you hear now.

la petite abeille animé

I was born in Kent. I grew up a bit in Maidstone in Kent and then I grew up some more in Stilton in Cambridgeshire. I am 5ft 10in tall, weigh 11st. have blue eyes and long blonde hair and am of medium build. My interest in music began at an early age when, still a baby, I used to vibrate on the floor to my fathers record collection; there is cine film evidence of this. My father had a piano and he plonked me in front of it at the age of 6/7 and since then I have been playing and writing music. When I was 15 I was attracted to the bass guitar and have been playing in various rock/blues and jazz outfits since then, most notably the Rude Mechanicals. Playing all over Cambridge and more recently London we have done much to convert people to a stranger kind of music and performance - it has done them good.
As well as this, I compose experimental/avant garde modern classical and electro-acoustic music. This has been performed at such venues as Cambridge Corn Exchange, West Road Concert Hall, Kettles Yard and The Foundry (Old Street). I have been shortlisted by the S.P.N.M. for a piece I wrote for Tuba and Piano. I am interested in the experimental and avant-garde forms of composition with performance.

I once played the bass with a plastic fish and on a separate occasion sat on a swivel chair with a yellow paper cone to my mouth shouting whilst spinning round very quickly.

I don't know how wide I am but I still vibrate to music which makes me feel quite good.
