Illustrated Talk: "An Alternative History of Music" delves into the meaning of life, the universe and everything using alchemy as the key and music as the inspiration. The ancient Greeks used music not simply as entertainment but as a means for understanding how the universe works. Here is a continuation of that story into modern times. Contact me if you would like to arrange this presentation for your group or society.
Published works include: Live Better - Meditation (Duncan Baird); Meditation For Every Day (Piatkus); Guide To Ancient Britain (Foulsham); Life Cycles (Foulsham and Llewellyn, USA); Tarot (Parragon); Nostradamus (Parragon).
Previous Lives: Journalist, meditation teacher, astrologer, music teacher and for twenty years owner of Pilgrims Mind-Body-Spirit centre in Gloucester.
Compositions: "The Well-Tempered Orchestra"; "Telstar Revisited"; "The Pauntley Quartet"; Alchemy
Media Experience: Radio broadcasts, talks and workshops. Regular online column.
Musical Experience: A lifetime's interest in contemporary and classical music with some Guildhall training and rock violin in the mix. Current leader of the Newent Orchestra.
" I have previously written books on meditation and inner exploration with particular interest in the mind, body, spirit relationship and have recently been applying this to my work as a musician and composer. I combine writing music with writing about music. Breaking down the formality of the audience/musician relationship is one of my concerns. My music attempts in particular to combine mysticism in music with contemporary ideas about rhythm and pattern to evolve new sounds and ways of listening."
Available to talk to New Age centres, music groups, literary societies, etc.
