Joining Zorch — British synth pioneers
I’ve been invited to guest with Zorch at the Great Gong Gathering in Glastonbury. They were among the first British groups to build an entire live act around synthesizers back in the 1970s, and this is a huge honour for me.
In November 2026, I was invited to join pioneering electronic duo Zorch at Glastonbury’s Great Gong Gathering. I’ve put together a history of the band, with rare photographs and their 1975 recordings.

Analogue synths over a real orchestra
I played analogue synthesizers in Kevin Figes’ Sound Dimensions at Bristol Beacon’s Lantern Hall. The performance brought a twenty-piece ensemble together with improvisation and electronics.

About me
These days I’m first and foremost a musician working with modular synthesizers, alongside my regular duties on bass guitar. I’m Welsh, based in Bristol, and also work as a producer and mastering engineer. Live electronic improvisation has become a big part of what I do.
I improvise on modular synthesizers with Steve Davis, and with drummer Greg White in quasimodal.
At the opposite end of the complexity scale is The Rumble-O’s, the Bristol surf band I play bass in. We’re very much a current band and we gig regularly. It’s a wonderful antidote to the elaborate world of modular synthesis: plug the bass straight into an amp and we’re ready to rock.
I’m a founding member and bassist of Charlotte Church’s Pop Dungeon, formed for All Tomorrow’s Parties in 2016. We completed the End Times Pop Dungeon tour in 2026.
In 2013 I played bass on Karl Hyde’s Edgeland tour.
I’ve performed with David Rhodes and William D. Drake, and played in Pop’pea at Paris’s Théâtre du Châtelet with Marc Almond and Carl Barât. My mastering work includes Robyn Hitchcock; I play analogue synths in Kevin Figes’ Sound Dimensions.
