How my interest began
I have been dabbling around with music since the late 1970's. When I was college some of the bands I listened to were Kim Wilde, Gary Numan, Human League and also Pink Floyd. When the first electric Casio keyboards were made I got one of those and enjoyed it so eventually I bought a Korg Poly 800 synthesizer and an RX11 drum machine and it all went from there. Since then I have gone through a fair few synths and other gear and finally seem to have settled on a set up that I enjoy working with.
The inspiration for my music main came from shaping the sounds on the synthesizer and seeing what came of it. But because of my love of nature and especially Dartmoor and the coast of Devon I would often find melodies would just come into my head while out walking and they would play around and around and evolve in my mind. I have many hundreds of song concept ideas that have been quickly recorded so I do not forget them and now and then I will work on the ones I like and complete the songs.
