Does he have a philosophy of sound?
That it hits you like thunder or caresses you like a soft wind.
Space is created. Strength. Beauty. Truth.

Other than a year at Whitiriea Polytechnic learning drums and a few guitar lessons he's
in the 'self-trained' camp. Musically there is a constant phase of developing techniques
for composing. Analysing scripts and discussion is where we spend careful time when
developing sonic inspiration for a project. He also gets a great deal of satisfaction locating
source music to balance or offset original music within a project, there's an art to that.
