Over the years, his original recordings have been used globally by leading therapists healers thinkers and communicators to transmit a message of powerful good vibrations. His back catalogue includes more than a dozen best selling and award winning cd's. Stylistically, it is possible to trace the evolution of his technique through different albums - however one thread unites them all. That is the sensitive use of real organic sounds, both his virtuostic masterful flute playing and in latter years his highly acclaimed voice.


His overall yet simplistic view is that we are all beings on a precious life journey of discovery, both of ourselves, our surroundings and our fellow beings.
