Progeny -1

Story

An enjoyer of melodic synth and film music ever since Star Wars in 1977 but it was not until 1986 with the purchase of the Casio CZ-5000 synthesizer that composing began to take a hold. Influenced mainly by Jarre,Vangelis,Carpenter and the big names in movie scores his music always has strong melodic themes fused with ambient electronica to create an harmonic equilibrium. Have recently relocated to North Somerset with me other half and our new wee babbar George :).
