These albums were previously available on iTunes and other online stores, but will now be available exclusively on bandcamp - and for pay-what-you-like (or free) download.

People doing exciting things
It has been awhile since I have done one of these, but there are lots of people I know who are doing exciting things that you should definitely check out. Rather than discussing specific projects, I will just provide a link to their facebook pages and you can click like and keep up to date [...]
2013 Reflections
It is the beginning of 2014, a new calendar year and I am sitting next to my son while he plays 'endless alphabet' on the iPad with concentrated skill and fury. I find myself thinking about everything that happened over the last year - it has been a pretty hectic 365 days! Some of the [...]

But after some discussions, and a long timing thinking about possibilities... the piece was re-worked, re-arranged and had some new parts written to make the piece better suited to support [...]
The Norse Suite (video)
This is the second to last piece from the concert videos, and there are two different versions of the piece available to be watched: The Norse Suite - concert version & The Norse Suite - final version The difference between the two videos is that after the premiere performance (concert version), I made some revisions [...]
The Foggy Field (video)

Working with [...]
Push for Miles (video)
Now, continuing on with concert videos... For my PhD composition portfolio, I have had the honour and privilege of writing for a range of specific (and extremely talented) musicians. This means I have been able to work with each person throughout the creation of the piece, writing something that works with their playing style - [...]
