Hello and thank you for dropping by.

Thank you very much to everyone who takes the time to listen, like and share my noises. I am extremely grateful. My apologies if I take a little while to respond to those that leave nice comments.

I like listening to music, making simple, tunes when I have time, and generally faffing about in an inefficient manner. Hopefully you might like something on offer here. 

I use a Hinkler Cigar Box guitar (about $30 from Aldi, great fun), a Flying V ukulele, a couple of old keyboards, other bits and bobs, and a Yamaha tenor saxophone.

Headphones are recommended on my work to allow the full effect. 
Over 1800 Tracks now on my channel, making music on here since 2015.
Have been remastering some of my 'unloved' tracks from the past here on SC - music which has not received as many plays as I would have expected. Maybe 2nd time around your might like it.
The 2025 remastered tracks are being readied for my best of 2025 album in 2026, available January 2026.
I do not use AI on any of my work, just blood sweat and tears, and a lot of emotion/feelings. The reason I have so much music on SC is that I love making music and it is my life. Also I love to share my work with you all, please enjoy.
Have recently discovered some old tracks which I did back in 2009 but have never been previously released or worked on further. Decided to let them see the light of day, unedited and unpolished. Hope you enjoy them and can see where my humble beginnings started.
Also new for Autumn 2025, a collection of classical piano pieces which I composed back in 2010, in memory of my late father who inspired me to play the keyboard in the first place. Under the title of Magician In Private, hope you will allow my indulgence into a special world of just simple piano, no frills.
Please checkout my vast collection of playlists. All my best music is on there in one place. Is free to listen to or sleep with.
From 1st June 2025, celebrating 10 years of KORG KRONOS music with lots of brand new music showcasing the wonders of this iconic workstation in all it's glory. Also as a nod to the release of the KRONOS 3, which will take KORG into the next generation.

Am posting some Jarre sounding pieces as homage to my lifelong hero of electronic music, using some of the sounds and instruments he has used along the way. Jar of Jarre is my collection of memorable sounds which have changed the way we appreciate modern electro.
Keep an eye out for my new collection of 2024 Remastered best of tracks, coming soon.
New year, new start. Back on the search for good music and inspiration. Will be featuring a lot of my older work remastered this year, seems like a long time since I began my composing journey back in 2000.
Happy New Year to all my followers, May 2025 be filled with musical magic. 
Thank you for all your kind comments and support throughout 2024 I do appreciate it. Stay safe and love each other.
All my remastered best tunes from 2015 to 2023 are now available to buy on Bandcamp.
Am back to making regular music now but sorry no Christmas songs this year. This time of year is very hard for me as it is when my father became very ill and died in the new year 2010. I still miss him very much but hope he would be proud of my musical journey, he is my number one inspiration.
Just a quick personal note on AI and music. I think it is not a good thing for the creative side of music and a lot of it comes without feelings or soul. Creativity is a gift, and should be greatly valued, cherished and nurtured. Music is what makes us human and can never be replaced by a computer.
Finished remastering up to and including 2023 now. Has been a mammoth task but well worth the effort. Next year I shall be working on a remastered series of my pre KORG days 2000 to 2008, in 8 volumes, as well as celebrating in style my 10 years of KRONOS magic, can't wait for 2025.
Have now amassed over 1000 tracks on SC (that's over 8000 minutes of music) and it has been a blast sharing them with you all. Next year 2025, marks the 10th anniversary of the start of my KORG journey.
Am currently putting together a remastered Anthology collection of all my best tracks from 2015 onwards. 2015 consists of a 3 volume set (Now available on Bandcamp). 2016 consists of a 4 volume set. (Also available on Bandcamp). 2017 consists of a 4 volume set. (Available on Bandcamp) 2018 consists of a 4 volume set. (Also available on Bandcamp). 2019 consists of a 4 volume set.

Have recently been rediscovering some of my older music pre KORG days and remastering for uploading to my cloud. Hope you like. Seems such a long time ago now.
I have been lucky to have music in my life, and now the time to explore how it can affect other people. I have discovered many new talented artists on SC and am happy to encourage and support their work; from small beginnings come great things. Please be inspired to be your best, inspire others too, encourage those who lack the inner courage to move forward, and together we can make music make a difference in all our lives.
Am spending a lot more time on my music now since retiring from work in July 2020. Always learning new techniques and honing my craft. Am comfortable now with all chord sequences throughout the scales and loving improvising with the help of my mighty KORG still. Am still trying to give my full support and encouragement to all SC users and some latest (you know who you are), are developing nicely. Be good to one another, be gracious to others, leave your ego out of your life and above all else remember there is always someone worse off than yourself. 
Please be kind to each other, to be happy with our lot without jealousy or greed; to give without asking the cost; to love as if there is no tomorrow; to share and inspire others who may be less fortunate than us; most of all to enjoy life for the joy of living, for we know not what the morning brings - stay safe my friends, be strong and always stay positive; remember life changes - DON'T let it change you!!  
Music is my life - has helped me through many dark places, is a big part of who I am. I put my heart and soul into every single piece of music I produce. I have found many wonderful friends on SC and many exciting talented people.  Been writing and producing music now for 40 years plus. Specialised in electronic based orchestral compositions. I have created my own genre which I call 'electrorchestration'.
Favourite artists/bands include Gary Numan, Little Boots, Jools Holland, Eno, Edgar Froese (1944-2015), Jordan Rudess, Kebu, Madis, Keith Emerson (1944-2016), Rick Wakeman, Richard Wright (1943-2008), Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Jean Michel Jarre, M83, Public Service Broadcasting, Dream Theater, ELP, Yes and Mystery to name but a few.

Jazz Fusión (from Málaga (Spain)) -> RECOMMEND USING HEADPHONES.
Guitarrista, teclista y compositor (Guitarist, Keyboardist, Songwriter).

Mi pasión por la música comenzó en una época en la que rebobinábamos las cintas de casete con un boli. Aquellos días estaban llenos de descubrimientos sonoros, de grabaciones caseras, de canciones que se escuchaban una y otra vez hasta desgastar la cinta. Fue ahí, entre ruidos de estática y carátulas escritas a mano, donde empezó a gestarse mi vínculo profundo con la música.

Cuando tenía 15 años apareció una guitarra española por casa —gracias a mi padre— y desde entonces no he parado. Empecé a tocar por curiosidad, sin clases ni manuales, solo con ganas y oído. Aquella guitarra, más que un instrumento, fue una puerta abierta a un universo sonoro que decidí explorar por mi cuenta. Sin maestros ni academias, solo con pasión, intuición y constancia.

Durante los años siguientes, mi camino se fue moldeando entre locales de ensayo. Pasé por varios grupos malagueños, donde tuve la suerte de compartir música con personas increíbles y absorber una amplia variedad de estilos: desde el pop más melódico hasta el rock más crudo, pasando por la riqueza armónica del jazz fusión. Cada proyecto fue una escuela viva, donde aprendí a escuchar, a adaptarme y a entender que la música es un lenguaje que se transforma según con quién lo hablas.

Aquella etapa me enseñó el valor del trabajo colectivo, la importancia de la improvisación y la magia que ocurre cuando varias energías se alinean en una misma dirección. Aprendí a componer, a tocar para el grupo, a dejar espacio y también a ocuparlo cuando la música lo pedía.

Ya con 30 me picó el gusanillo de las teclas y me lancé al mundo del piano y los sintetizadores. También por mi cuenta, como siempre: ensayo, error y muchas horas de exploración. El teclado se convirtió en una nueva forma de complementar lo que la guitarra ya no podía expresar por sí sola. Descubrí nuevas texturas, nuevas formas de construir atmósferas, y empecé a componer desde otra perspectiva, más profunda, más amplia.

La llegada de los sintetizadores abrió un nuevo capítulo: el de la producción musical. Me interesé por la grabación, la mezcla, el diseño sonoro. Empecé a experimentar con capas, con efectos, con ritmos programados y armonías flotantes. La tecnología se convirtió en aliada, pero siempre al servicio de la emoción.

Soy compositor autodidacta, y mi música es justo eso: una mezcla de intuición, pasión y aprendizaje a mi ritmo. No sigo reglas, sigo el sonido. Cada acorde, cada progresión, cada melodía ha nacido del deseo profundo de crear. Mi música es el reflejo de esa evolución: sincera, libre y en constante búsqueda.

Hoy sigo explorando, combinando lo orgánico con lo digital, lo clásico con lo experimental. Me interesa tanto la emoción como la estructura, tanto el ritmo como el silencio. Compongo para contar historias, para provocar sensaciones, para conectar. Y aunque el camino ha sido solitario en muchos momentos, también ha sido profundamente revelador.

Mi objetivo no es encajar en un estilo, sino construir uno propio. Uno que hable de mí, de mis influencias, de mis vivencias. Uno que respire Málaga, que suene a calle, a mar, a noche, a introspección. Uno que invite a cerrar los ojos y dejarse llevar.

In English:

My passion for music started at a time when we used to rewind cassette tapes with a pen. Those days were full of sound discoveries, home recordings, songs heard over and over again until the tape was worn out. It was there, between static noises and handwritten covers, that my deep connection with music began to develop.

When I was 15 years old he appeared a spanish guitar in the house -thanks to my father- and since then I have not stopped. I started playing out of curiosity, without lessons or manuals, just with heart and ear. That guitar, more than an instrument, was an open door to a sound universe that I decided to explore on my own. Without teachers or academies, only with passion, intuition and constancy.

During the following years, my path was shaped between rehearsal rooms. I went through several groups in Malaga, where I was lucky enough to share music with amazing people and absorb a wide variety of styles: from the most melodic pop to the most raw rock, passing by the harmonic richness of jazz fusion. Each project was a living school, where I learned to listen, adapt and understand that music is a language that changes depending on who you talk to.

That stage taught me the value of collective work, the importance of improvisation and the magic that occurs when several energies align in the same direction. I learned to compose, to play for the group, to leave space and also to occupy it when the music asked.

Already at 30 I was itching for the keys and I launched into the world of piano and synthesizers. Also on my own, as always: trial and error and many hours of exploration. The keyboard became a new way to complement what the guitar could no longer express on its own. I discovered new textures, new ways of building atmospheres, and started composing from another perspective, deeper, broader.

The arrival of synthesizers opened a new chapter: music production. I became interested in recording, mixing, sound design. I started experimenting with layers, effects, programmed rhythms and floating harmonies. Technology became an ally, but always at the service of emotion.

I’m a self-taught composer, and my music is just that: a mix of intuition, passion and learning at my own pace. I don’t follow rules, I follow sound. Every chord, every progression, every melody has been born from the deep desire to create. My music is the reflection of that evolution: sincere, free and in constant search.

Today I continue to explore, combining the organic with the digital, the classic with the experimental. I am interested in both emotion and structure, rhythm and silence. I compose to tell stories, to provoke sensations, to connect. And although the path has been lonely at many times, it has also been deeply revealing.

My goal is not to fit into a style, but to build one of my own. One that speaks about me, my influences, my experiences. One that breathes Malaga, that sounds like street, sea, night, introspection. One that invites you to close your eyes and let yourself go.

Wow, hadn't realised what a journey SoundCloud would take me on.  After many years of passive listening to music I've dieted on a variety of tastes. My appetite for new sounds is undiminished and SC provides plenty of food. I am not a musician and have only recently started to listen positively to the sounds. My early years began listening to music from ABC, The Beatles, The Carpenters Dire Straits Eagles Fleetwood Mac Genesis Elton John Led Zeppelin Gilbert O'Sullivan Rod Stewart Supertramp Tangerine Dream Vangelis The Who and many more.
If you can't spot a trend in my current likes it may be because it is diverse. I love listening to all my playlists which contain tracks that I like and if you like any of the music you must thank the artists not me.
