 I know on web-sites you are supposed to give a capsule summery of yourself, so I guess the closest that I could get would be.
Scientist, Space Cadet and Singer-Songwriter
I am currently building bits of spaceships out in the Surrey Countryside and working towards my Ph.D. it is my life's ambition to go into space, and travel the world with my guitar.
My godfather and I spent the summer of 2007 driving around Australia from Perth to Darwin... and back. Photos here. I've also made some 3D animations for some proposed missions to Earth's Moon and Jupiter's Moon of Europa.
The Waterfront Project - 15th March 2008
I had a gathering of my musically talented friends, and suckered them into playing some of my stuff, plus a traditional folk song which we rocked up. Please bear in mind that these are rough live recordings taken in my dining room!
The first song that I wrote ages ago and is one from Satin Skies.
The next song is a traditional English Sea shanty that's been rocked up somewhat.
This final song I wrote at Xmas time and is a "broken token" song. English folk music is litered with these, where the man has become a sailor and gone off to sea, leaving the woman on the shore to stare out at the waves and wonder when he will come back from foreign parts. It struck me that these days with the military striving (theoretically) towards equality, there could be a song from the analagous male point of view.
