October 2023
I have spent more time in the last two to three years concentrating on music composition and production in order to enable me to improve the soundtracks I produce to complement my moving image work. The considerable mental effort required has helped maintain a semblance of sanity in face of the ever increasing insanity of the world in general from the so called pandemic and the harms of lockdowns to a spurious climate crisis and wokeism in general. Lockdowns in particular contributed to a loss of inspiration for which I am still searching.
I have, however, produced a number of video animations, my moving paintings, over the last 2 years some of which feature here. Writing the music, singing and performing a comic opera has also kept me busy! The opera perhaps proves that the effort to maintain some sanity did not work! I have now retired it with relief to all but I have recently uploaded my latest work, a hybrid jazz/blues set of tunes based on songs from the Gilbert and Sullivan Operas. You can hear them here

You can see most of my video animation work on Vimeo including, for the first time, a full length version of my 2012 animated film 'Vortex'.
