I have been composing in the electronic domain since 1989, my first piece written in Basic "beep" commands on an Amstrad word processor and recorded through its tiny internal speaker. I am particularly interested in the intersection between electronic, folk (celtic) and Indian music. I often take a "maximalist" approach which is similar in aesthetics and melodic form to the minimalist movement but with a deliberate indulgent attitude to the number of instruments and themes etc. 60 seconds, 6 movements each of 10 seconds. 60 recordings from radios in 6 categories - Ticks, Hisses, Whirs, Dynes, Voices. 60 times increase in tempo from 6bpm to 360bpm. This piece has not followed my "maximilist" inclinations being basically monophonic in structure.
