Last year I worked on an experimental dance film with Dan Inglis and Dujon Cullingford. The piece is kind of an exploration of breakdancing in an unusual way. It is always a privilege to collaborate with other artists of such high calibre! The final product is now online for your viewing pleasure. Check out 'FLARE' online [...]

Multimedia music
With the release of the 'Flutter' video, I have had people ask me what my next performance piece will be... at the moment I am unsure. We shall see what comes up. But in the meantime, I thought it might be good to revisit some of the multi-media performance projects I have put together, and [...]
-still-
As a bit of creative fun I decided to create a piece using some taonga puoro recordings I had made with Alistair Fraser. I listened through the recordings, and then started to create a piano piece that would allow Alistairs musical gestures to flow naturally and create a sense of balance between the taonga puoro [...]

It was created for a nature documentary exploring the tropical wetlands of Australia. The music is aiming for [...]
UP (an new old album)
Here is something a little bit different to the more 'serious' or 'arty' projects I have been working on recently. Since my last "pop" album projects (One Fat Man and ...howard) I had been working on a bunch of synthy, poppy follow up music. But due to various things (mainly working on my PhD and [...]
He korokoro tūī (remix)
At the end of last year I had the opportunity to create a soundscape for a new contemporary dance work "Whenua" by Karen Barbour. The work was premiered at a conference at Waikato University. In the recording and creation of this piece I had the privilege of working with Alistair Fraser playing his selection of [...]
Can’t Stand The Heat
Happy New Year. 2015 is shaping up to be a pretty creatively inspiring year - with plenty of new music and projects to work on! A while back I created an 80's inspired theme song as a potential idea for a (then unfinished) short film - kind of aiming for a fun uptempo cop film [...]
