Backgrounds in performance/improvisation
and poetry/jazz led to his
involvement in the nascent '70s Industrial movement. He was a
founder member of ClockDVA and The Box, recording for cult labels
Industrial, Fetish and Doublevision as well as Go Discs, and has
worked with vocalist Peter Hope as both The Bone Orchestra and Flex

Derek Bailey, Mick Beck, Gino Robair, LaDonna Smith, Milo Fine, Paul
Hession, Julie Tippetts, Wally Shoup, Pat Thomas, Shock Headed
Peters, Geraldine Monk, Outward Sound Ensemble, Philip Thomas, Jez
riley-French and Music For One.
Since 1994 he has been a member of industrial percussion group Left
Hand Right Hand and his record production skills have seen him
becoming house producer for Martin Archer's Discus Records.
He has also lectured on improvisation at Nottingham Trent
University.
He continues to play with The Beatrix Ward-Fernanez Trio (
theremin/tuba/percussion) and Swift Are the Winds of Life (2
violins/percussion) and has recently toured the live soundtrack to
Teinosuke Kinugasa's 1920's masterpiece "Page of Madness".
His long term working relationship with John Jasnoch continues with
The Navigators, ASK, The Balkh Trio (live interpretations of poet
Jalaluddin Rumi with vocalist Pete White) and the Para-Music
Ensemble (with instrument builders Scott Hawkins and Richard Head)
He remains one of a handful of musicians to have played both Company
Week and Top of the Pops (with Moloko).
