Very proud to be involved in the new release by Dolly Mavies.

A goal I set at the beginning of Lockdown was to keep myself very busy and learn new skills, so I’ve been; making multi-genre music, building connections and pushing myself to achieve bigger and better things. One new area I’ve been involved with recently is BETA testing high end, virtual instruments. As well as working with Soundiron, I’ve been helping Westwood Instruments with their latest offering ‘Alt Piano’.

They are a fantastic new company who are making great tools for ‘alternative’ composers. This instrument blew me away and It’s been so eye-opening to see how much work goes into making these tools. And.. the guys at Westwood have kindly featured my testimonial on the product page!
