| Location | El Medano, Tenerife, Spain |
| Introduction | For 25 years I'd been a composer of music for TV, working at the BBC's Radiophonic Workshop and from my own studio near Brighton, UK. Then we decided to sell up & 'downshift' to a sunny, windy beach on The Reef (Tenerife). My wife, Nikki is a Digital artist/photographer and we're both obsessive windsurfers. Personality: over talkative, speedy ex hippy, laid back soul surfer - a mass of contradictions in fact :-) |
| Interests | Windsurfing, Music, Literature, Philosophy, Basil (my dog), Enjoying Life (on The Reef) |
| Favorite Music | J.S. Bach, Massive Attack, Mahler, World Music (especially African, Brazilian, Salsa), Soul Music (especially Otis, James, Marvin, Aretha, Gladys etc) ... the list is endless, and as I mentioned, I'm a a mass of contradictions :) |
