Just uploaded another video of original music to YouTube.

The story behind this is: last month I was one of three VERY fortunate winners in a YouTube music channel's 100,000 subscribers Giveaway. Naturally I was keen to work on a project that used instruments from this tremendous windfall! This is the result. The visuals are mostly about the music and the instruments, with some photos taken around the South Island thrown in.

Many thanks to for making this possible. His awesome ch...

I've just posted another video of original Orchestral music on YouTube. Inspired by an original melody I used to hum to myself as long ago as the early 1980s, but it's only now that I've managed to turn it into a proper composition. The metronome in the corner, I animated in Cyberlink PowerDirector. I animated it to fit the music - the music was not governed by the metronome. https://youtu.be/aphJgyCc7Us is the link if anyone would like to watch/listen. Thanks in advance, and enjoy!

Hi folks

I've just posted another original music video to YouTube. It's one I've been meaning to do for a while. It's about the Illuminate Light Show that took place in Queens Park here in Invercargill last June. The footage and pictures was all taken on cellphones under low light by my son and myself, so it could be better, but there were some nice moments amongst it.

Queens Park was transformed into a magical fantasy fairyland for the occasion, and it's quite nostalgic considering the damage that was done to the park in the huge windstorm that we had last October. For the music, I wrote an ethereal electronic-based piece, using both hardware and software instruments. https://youtu.be/MAAFjLETT6w is the link, if anyone would like to listen. Enjoy!

I posted a video on the recent Santa Parade on Facebook. It can be viewed at https://www.facebook.com/reel/1559846075439988. It did "Rain On Our Parade" a bit, but not too bad. I filmed it from the roundabout at Trooper's Memorial. Enjoy!

A rather beautiful scene on the night of November 5th, 2025. Light from the full moon peeping out from behind the clouds.

I've gone and posted another video of original orchestral music on YouTube.

This one is a gentle piece: Berceuse means Lullaby in French. I started composing this with a very different video in mind. I quickly realised that this piece would not be suitable for that video. But it was still very nice in its own right, so I carried on composing it. Now I'll have to write something else for the other video, though!

I kept the visuals in this one very simple, as befitting the music. They basically outline which instruments are playing.
