About Me
He likes to discover suppressed fragments of melody.
I am active musician, now living in Lisbon, Portugal. Whilst living in London I was a part of the free improv scene, frequently playing at venues such as the Vortex, Battersea Arts Centre, Cafe Oto, Iklectic' and once even at Ronnie Scott's club (with the London Improviser's Orchestra). I have released CD's via my own label, citystream; with 'Bay's Leap', 'Splatter', a duo with Niko Meinhold, a duo with Alberto Popolla, 'Uncle Rabbit', the 'Improvising Clarinet Ensemble' , a project named 'Stones of Contention' recorded in Sicily with a sextet, 'Quartet Exquis' (in Portugal during the Covid lockdown) ,and solo and group releases on net labels - Headphonica and Clinical Archives. I formerly ran a monthly evening of free improvisation and experimental music called the 'Luna Fringe' in North East London. I am a keen improvisor and am an occasional member of the London Improvisers Orchestra and the Berlin Improvisers Orchestra, frequently doing “conductions”. I like very much to collaborate with other musicians. Since moving to Portugal, I have met and played with many other local improvising musicians, such as Carlos Zingaro, Paulo Chagas, Maria do Mar, Maria Radich, Luis Martins, Pedro Melo Alves, Joao Madeira and many others. I toured Portugal with versions of Splatter, and with Bay's Leap, and have been featured on RTP2 radio.
