As a young musician Giles studied Singing and the French Horn. He actively avoided learning the piano at school but this has come full circle with piano often being a staple in his stylistic scores. From a young age he investigated how music could exist outside of cliché or norm. This journey of sonic exploration has lead to studies in Guitar, Percussion and Cello as well as an extensive voyage into synthesis electronic music and design/construction of new instruments.
