About me
Greetings! こんにちは! Bonjour!
I'm an experienced TV ad music and film score composer, based in Tokyo since 1985. I started out as a rock/prog keyboardist, and played in the early 70‘s with Mott the Hoople (and later as the first on-tour keyboard player with Queen). In the late 70‘s I dived into punk and experimental music in London both as player and producer. I have built up a collection of rare vintage keyboards and play regular ambient improv concerts in my home studio. I've always been extremely eclectic, rather than staying safely in the upper echelons of rock where I hung out for a while. My TV ad music includes styles from string quartets all the way to hard rock. I'm always looking for fresh new ideas and am willing to join any style and any size of project that captures my interest.
I'm also a passionate light painter (abstract photographer) and my work has been featured by Hasselblad, Artworks Magazine (CA), rfotofolio, and in numerous exhibitions in Japan and abroad. I'm keen to see my images utilised in new ways, as art and as graphic design.
Cheers - let's work together! よろしくお願いします! Travaillons ensemble!
