A Fragrant Breeze Is Blowing From China Over These Seven Strings ( Naviarhaiku 341 )

a fragrant breeze
is blowing from China 
over these seven strings

naviarhaiku341: a fragrant breeze

I was mad at the world…and then I let it go. 
This song represents the process of recognizing an automatic negative thought and eliminating it mindfully.

A Fragrant Breeze of Strings (naviarhaiku341)

I've been recording music in some form or other since 1990 and have involved myself in Leicester's thriving (and unusual) underground music scene since 1997. Chris Conway's monthly Quadelectronic events at Leicester's Quad Studios have opened more doors to new friends and new musical experiences, for which I want to express my gratitude.
I work in a variety of musical forms, both solo and with friends: notably the currently-reawakening Leicester band Muted Fnord with multi-instrumentalists David Dhonau, Ola Szmidt and Andrew "Johnny" Johnston; also with Chris Conway as Memory Wire, with Alto Stratus as Endgame and also percussionist julian Broadhurst, vocalist/musician Victoria Bourne and others. Both composed and improvised (often an intuitive combination of the two), my music spans a range from the conventionally melodic to the most abstract avant-garde soundscaping, with many possible crossover points inbetween. Whatever the form, I make music I'd like to hear.
In addition to the electronic soundscaping I also play cajón in Leicester-based psychedelic rockin' outfit Multimorph and ethnic fusion four-piece Jaipur School Orchestra.
