Welcome… I’ve had this website for 25 years so it contains old pages as well as new content. You will find pages for my business of web and graphic design, home computer support, also my music and home studio, synthesizers and musical gear, photography, astronomy, geology etc…
3rd May 2025 – I’ve started writing science articles so am going to add some literary works to the website, mainly astronomy and that’s what I have most experience in, but I’m working on geology and a combined understanding of the natural world, maybe with some philosophy and other thoughtfulness.

Studio Blog:
My home music studio has evolved a lot over 30+ years but recently I took a big leap to move away from the old gear and fully modernise everything. The classic synths are gone, the rackmounts are gone, no vintage equipment anymore.

The blog section has some old articles, and maybe I’ll make some new ones soon:

Please see my soundcloud pages: OSCLab (Psytrance), Flite Music (Other Music). I’m taking my time to get some proper good music made but hoping to get a first release this year sometime (2018). (lol yea right 2018.. and counting …. I am workin on it tho!)
These albums below are from my early days but from a time when I had a real method to my music making, there’s a lot of curious instruments and samples; and a lot of heart and soul went into these:
Aion – Alien EP (2014) 12th April 2025 - The second of two experimental dark ambient EP’s, using lots of chopped up sound recordings; digitally processed audio, hardware synthesizers and software effects. Deep atmospheres with alien rhythms.
Aion – Creek EP (2012) 12th April 2025 - The first of two Aion EP’s of fairly abstract dark ambient, using lots of field recordings and audio processing to create sounds in alternative ways. Using video camera audio from adventures at home and around… read on…If you can’t find what you’re looking for try a search:
