Simon's artworld encompasses so much more than visual art, as I am also a versatile experienced artist in several areas of creativity; this includes also music in form of performing, and writing of new musical works [ for soloist on melodic line] and some Duos too [ for 2 instruments].
Some of my musical works are illustrated also with skilfully drawn or painted images appropriate to any theme of the musical piece itself. They are all handwritten pieces, from conception to completion; and most are first drafts, straight down onto the page.
I have been playing mainly free reed family of instruments, and recently - a wooden Chalumeau [ which is an ancient form of the clarinet].
I am, exceptionally prolific in writing music - a skill developed over a few decades now, and have a very neat hand writing style on manuscript which is easy to read and understand.
My music is not abstract - but instead, has a good melody about it [ a good tune] - a skill of which I believe is much rarer to be heard these days in 'classical' based idioms of musical form.
On my MUSIC section of my artworld site I will begin to include more topics in this skill area; and also some interesting facts about the instruments and history where required, for general interest, and also some links to my 'YouTube' channel to music I have written or that I am performing on video.
