Played in a band in the late 1960's. I've always owned some sort of guitar but never played in public, written or recorded anything until I got an iPad in 2011 and discovered GarageBand and a host of other music-making apps. Since then I've been trying all sorts of stuff from Dance to Experimental and Ambient to Jazz.

Guitar, bass.

All iPad based apps. GarageBand, MusicStudio, FL Studio HD, Multitrack DAW, Amplitube are the main ones. Plus many others.

I don't have a recognisable style. Lately I've been going for a World Fusion feel because it gives me the opportunity to try out the more unusual virtual instruments available in modern music software. Ideally I would like those who are looking for something a little different to listen to my music.
