I like to make simple ambient music. This is slow music, worth giving a bit of your time to, especially on headphones. Influences - Jean Michel Jarre, Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, Art of Noise, Brian Eno, FAX and WARP labels and more recently Tetsu Inoue, Susumu Yakota and Waki.

Realm’s unique musical style is strongly influenced by a broad range of artists within the field of electronic music spanning recent decades. Whilst drawing inspiration from a vast and eclectic mix of musical genres, artistic impetus is taken from the subtle moments and epiphanies of life’s colourful journey.

The combination of all the above gives rise to a distinct and sometimes quirky sound that falls under the general banner of electronica. Typically occupying the mid-to-low tempo range, Realm's tracks contain a diverse range of ear-candy from trippy arpeggiated rhythms and punchy percussion to smooth synthetic tapestries and otherworldly sonics that punctuate the audio landscapes.

Born in the north of the United Kingdom, I started playing when I was young.
The music I create now is mainly electronic, covering many styles. Ambient, electronic, dance and experimental styles. My influences? There are so many, to be honest. Everything from classical, electronic and dance to more experimental. The more obvious are German experimental electronic artists and a lot of well-known ambient musicians.
My inspirations are taken from the people I love and trust. It’s with their understanding and help that I am able to create music.
I was trained classically, but have been experimenting with electronics since the late 70’s,
