About

I am a 25 year old PhD student (Computer vision and psychophysics at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh). In my free time I play (fretless) bass guitar with a number of local bands. My main live project is AlKandAlC - a duo with Alastair Kilgour. He sings and plays acoustic guitar. I just play bass. I guess we’re mainly folk, with illusions to folktronica (so we can appear cool :p ) but so far I haven’t managed to create anythinkg interesting on the little drum machine. I also play bass for Benny Tetteh-Lartey in his Afro-Scot band, and occasionally, with Roger Emmerson and The Modern Blues.

In my spare time from all that, I am (slowly!) teaching myself how to play touchstyle guitar, namely a lovely 10 string Warr Guitar.  It’s been slow going but if all goes to plan I’ll be using for a couple of AlKandAlC tunes by the end of the year. I’ve also been asked to join a Glasgow based rock band, Gamble Gamble and Drever on warr guitar.

And finally, in what little time i have left I play around in Cubase and produce some music.
