I am a musician from the United Kingdom. I have released music on labels such as FSOLDigital, Jozik, AmbientLive and Treetrunk.

Between 1999 and 2011, I recorded ambient music under the name Second Thought, releasing a series of albums and EPs soundtracking various places, distinctive for their use of piano and field recordings. I also released synth music as Obliquity and lo-fi songs as The Curse of Kevin Carter.

At the start of 2012, in search of a more personal approach, I left these monikers behind and continued recording under my own name, now focusing on music which combines acoustic instruments, vocals, field recordings and occasional electronics. I also sing and play guitar in a seemingly permanently unnamed band, and occasionally record with guitarist Gregg Jackson as Captain Busby.

I am influenced by landscape photography, ghost stories and books about the paranormal, the open countryside, and the music of The Future Sound of London, Luc Ferrari and Mike Oldfield.
