I began in the folk tradition and slowly began to be an electric guitarist. I have since 2020 been composing long- form pieces for electric guitar, voices and contrabass. I am comfortable with extended vocal techniques and I play guitar with a bow much of the time.
My compositions and songs speak to some social ideas, I worked as a prison abolitionist support person for a few years, and I have spoken about colonialism in Canada since the 80's, as well as the concept of “stolen music.” Everything I do is rooted in Celtic music, but that influence is deeply buried under structured improvisation and outbursts of noise. I have toured extensively in Northern Europe and Scandinavia, for a short time in Bergen, Norway, I was known as “The Voice From Canada.”
I have been releasing recordings since the 80's as well, in total about 18 full- length cds and some vinyl that came out of The UK on Future Grave label.
