| About Me |
|
I am now enjoying retirement after a career in engineering, design, physics teaching, training design and computers. Making music is one of my retirement leisure interests. At last I have enough time to explore and study and learn. Progress is slow, but I am always learning. I spent two years working on the harmonica, including inventing and building various radical new designs. Eventually I decided the instrument was too difficult for me! Have now returned to the guitar, a lifelong interest. Bought my first electric guitar a couple of years ago. Exploring jazz and improvisation on the guitar the possibility of retuning the guitar crossed my path. I have now settled on using "M3" tuning G B Eb G B Eb, as also used by Kompoz member M3roadworx (Ole Kirkeby). I have a hammer dulcimer that I designed and built. Can't play it very well but I am fascinated by the sound of the instrument. Would like to learn keyboards sometime soon. My other main interest is art, drawing and painting.
