'Harry The Hedgehog' is a my tribute to a little hedgehog who wanders peacefully around my garden and whom I have named Harry. He always brings a smile to my face and goes about his business around the garden quietly. reminding me to do the same. 
He isn't without threat though, with the odd cat or dog challenging his right to be in the garden, however in his own quiet way, when threatened, he simply curls up in a spiky ball and awaits their departure.

'Mochrum' is a hill close to where I live. Over the last few years the trees have been decimated for some unknown reason. Probably the allowing for the free flow of 5G. However the hill still stands proud and will in time make it's way back to it's former glory as a monument to the power of mother nature.
This track then is my respect for the hill known as 'Mochrum'.

'One More Breath' is a Jazz Fusion track inspired by the practice of breathing exercises. Chi-gung, meditation etc. When one arrives at their limit, can one relax and add "One More Breath". Through weeks, months and years of practice, one slowly improves and progress is made. So then "One More Breath" is the inspiration in all activities, to not give up at "the final hurdle".

'Inner Sanctum III' is a Jazz Fusion Track in collaboration with my friend John  Corsaro. Joining John, an excellent drummer and percussionist, on this track was an absolute blast and just an honour to play with such a great player. I actually posted this track up 8 years ago, but on a chance hearing of it being played randomly on Youtube recently, I decided to give it another airing. I hope you find it enjoyable and thank you in advance, if perhaps, you might have some thoughts to share in the comments.
Alan.

'The Three Ps Part 1 - Practice' is the first part of a trilogy of tracks. The first track, Part I - Practice, features Andy Grossart on Bass. The trilogy was inspired by my martial art teacher, Patrick Nagle, who would repeat over and over, "Three P's": meaning, practice, patience and perseverance. Parts II and III will be named sequencially.

Now retired from a life 'on the road' as a freelance keyboard player, I compose and record in my home studio, situated in the Carrick Hills in Southern Scotland. My music is mainly instrumental in nature and is a reflection of my life experience, sometimes real and sometimes imagined.
My influences are many and I have quite probably been shaped by listening to the very many "giants" of music, both players and composers. From classical to contemporary jazz and everything in between. My main instrument is the keyboard, whether that be piano, organ or synth. But I also play banjo, flute and percussion. I have a special relationship'with bass, whether upright or electric and use virtual and synth basses from numerous sources, but mainly Trilian by Spectrasonics.
