Available to hire
I studied music formally at Dick Grove School of music in the 1980s’ I was personal assistant to Dick Grove himself. I’ve created 40 + albums as “Sage Indigo Project”. The style is microtonal and minimalist. In some cases it has a twelve tone feel - branching off from theories of Arnold Schoenberg.
