Elfen Lied: Lilium [Music Box Piano Cover]

Played sax for the last seventeen years (as at February 2023) or so after visiting the Bude jazz festival with a good (but now sadly deceased) friend. I like watching and playing live music of all sorts. Don't play it so much now as prefer guitar.

Don't have any known influences, I just like good chords, mostly minor ones and play ballad-type music (for want of a better term), some jazz, some blues.

I did music lessons for seven years but found my limit so decided to give up; I really wanted to be able to pick up a grade 8 piece of music and play it right off but  realised that was never going to happen. I can improvise over someone else's work usually in two takes, one to listen, one to play...unless it's Latin music then I can't do it at all.

I played in a band called The Various Assortments which had varying degrees of success at a local level and whilst I no longer play with the band it gave me a great experience playing live in front of an audience and I rather liked it.

For the moment, I compose music and play tunes in my spare room. I don't practice anywhere near as much as I should because I've gone back to taking photographs. I still make tracks though and I'm always thinking of new ideas that will never come to fruition.

Might try to learn piano formally one day, might not, actually probably won't, ever, too many fingers to be used at the same time.

Had a track (Tassology) played on the radio in collaboration with Adam Gallacher; neat. The Various Assortments have also had tracks played on the radio so I'm quite famous in my own head.

Now learning guitar and have started writing a lot more songs. I'm not much of a musician but it keeps me amused and dreaming and we all need to dream.
