More Gavin

I'm a musical composer and producer currently based in Plymouth, UK with a strong interest in all aspects of music. From an early age I was heavily into listening to different musical genres and the first instrument I learnt to play was the electric guitar. I've been involved in the live music scene for many years and the live aspect of music creation has influenced my compositional writing style.

I've performed onstage and written music for musicians and groups across the South-West, covering genres from acoustic to electronica, punk to progressive and rap to rock.

Currently, a lot of my time is devoted to composing musical and audio pieces using the latest hardware and software technologies but I still actively play several instruments.

Whilst not a definitive list, I feel I should pay lip service to the following who have inspired me and influenced my creative direction:

A little about the services I offer

I offer musical services ranging from compositions to tuition. I offer these primarily because I enjoy being involved in exciting musial collaborations and, in particular, because I'd like to gain experience of television/film and new-media/multimedia projects.
