One day after school, my dad and I arrived home and he told me, "Sit down in the lounge room, and don't talk". I thought I was in some kind of trouble, but when he didn't turn on any lights, and walked over to the CD player I knew something was about to happen.

"We're going to listen to something, and I don't want to say anything until it's done", he said. Then he proceeded to play "A Momentary Lapse of Reason". It changed my life.

It was the first time I realised you can listen to music like you'd watch a film. The depth of the soundscapes still influence me as a musician today.

Thanks dad.
