In the early 1980's I wrote a "machine code" program for storing and playing back music on the Sinclair ZX81 computers. Playback was accomplished by placing a transistor radio near to the device, which picked up the notes as carefully crafted interference.
With the advent of computers and software which worked with music notation, I took private lessons in composition from Chris Sansom, with whom I worked on the Atari ST program "Fractal Music". Later I studied for the Diploma in Harmony and Counterpoint at the City Lit, where I met the lecturer Alan Parsons with whom I undertook many years of private studies.
Stylistically I believe the tune - the first manifestation of my musical ideas - is paramount, and this means my music is tonal. Sometimes I take liberties with rhythm and harmony - the sound's the thing! - however I also feel free to use traditional techniques and structures - just as modern mathematicians still use Newton's methods.
