Welcome to West End Sounds. I’ve been making music since 1982 and have always been curious about new technology — from synths and drum machines to computers becoming part of the creative process. The moment I got my hands on an Atari ST and an Akai S950, I was hooked. That was a long time ago! When AI first started to appear in music, I’ll be honest, it unsettled me. Writing and composing had always felt like a deeply personal, human process, and I couldn’t quite see where on earth AI fitted in. Over time, curiosity replaced resistance. I felt it made sense to at least explore what was happening. After a terribly bruising 2023/24, I launched West End Sounds in 2025. For this project, I work with a mix of tools — Suno Studio, DAW, Kontakt 7, and a handful of tried-and-tested VSTs, mainly reverbs, tape saturators and delays. Things in the creative realm are moving fast and often unpredictably. West End Sounds is my own small experiment in hybrid, AI-assisted music making. Thanks :)
