In the early 1990s I was half of the duo Thieves with the extraordinarily talented David McAlmont (who went on to have a couple of magnificent hits with Bernard Butler after he left Suede). We were signed to Virgin Records and found ourselves in the clutches of the inevitable advance-chasing dodgy managers and of course it all went hideously wrong before the release of our debut album. Years later when we could talk to one another without the interference of vested interests around us, we realised we really did like each other and had no idea why we allowed ourselves to be manipulated to such a degree. Youth, eh?

After Thieves I formed the duo Mandalay with Nicola Hitchcock. We released 3 albums for V2 records in the 1990s till we called it a day in 2001. We were lucky enough to work with such stellar talents and lovely people as Steve Jansen (yep, from Japan), Jon Hassell, Guy Sigsworth, Robin Guthrie (Cocteau Twins) and the legendary Danny Thompson. Mandalay got lots of favourable attention from the music press and fellow artists and we got to play alongside people like Moby and Nitin Sawney. In the US we even sold a fair few albums and our songs featured on programmes like 6 Feet Under, CSI, La Femme Nikita etc. Madonna called us her favourite band of 2001 - that may have been the beginning of the end for us.

After Mandalay I went on to write music for TV, film and adverts before eventually drifting away from music for nearly 9 years. In 2013 I started making music again.

We are spiritual beings wrapped within a physical body.Our Soul is Eternal and wants to go home.Our bodies are temporary and will return to the earth,but the ego wants us to stay here,in the world of glitter......
.....some of the words to my songs are shown on  the main profile page,and will be recorded and uploaded(I work slowly)-they are all inspired in me from the sayings of Sufi Master Sheikh Nazim,His inspirations from Heavenly Stations.....
Please leave a comment whether good or bad....just be honest, thanks.

Love all music!!!  Bring it on!

Versuchsanordnung: 
"It's our aim to paint images in your head!"


Versuchsanordnung (German for: experimental arrangement) stands for research on tones, molecular geometries of sound, destillates of incidental tonal sounds, be it in the form of compositions or pure improvisation.

Versuchsanordnung create sound impressions full of atmosphere aiming to paint pictures in your head. Versuchsanordnung also compose film scores when getting commissioned (they already did music for 3 films).

Versuchsanordnung is experimenting with unlikely forms of compositions and is a quite well-known unit for group-improvised music.

Versuchsanordnung has been in existance since 2006. 

------------------------------------------

Status (May 2019):
At this point, Versuchsanordnung is working on another CD, composing & arranging new pieces. This is a slow process, cause the members live in different cities and don't rehearse.

Despite of this, Versuchsanordnung are available for concerts as a unit for free-improvised music (working as "Laboratorium") until recordings are finished (Guest musicians are welcome).
