Biography

Lindsay Bourke was born in 1945. He was classically trained with early influences from Beethoven, Chopin and Mahler, while his later influence was Bob Dylan. Also in that year he visited Germany and stayed with experimental musician, Karlheinz Stockhausen. Rawlins noticed the concert was, "not just sound and image but a fluid, fluent interrelated 'happening'..."

The artist appeared at the Aquarius Festival of Alternative Lifestyles in May 1973 at Nimbin. By 1975 Bourke, performing as Lindsay Blue, issued his second album, Love All Life. McFarlane declared it would be "classified as ambient or New Age relaxation music, with its emphasis on electronic instrumentation and natural sounds."
