Jun 2019—Feb 2020

I'll be writing a piece for wind and brass for the LA Phil new music ensemble in April 2021, part of their Green Umbrella Series. Premiere at the Walt Disney hall in a programme of fantastic stuff, with music from Oliver Leith, Thomas Ades, Francisco Coll and Erika Fox.

Check out the programme here

At the start of next month, the Royal Northern Sinfonia will be performing some wind quintet pieces by me for their CoMA New Music Trail, part of a UK-wide festival of new music. Get tickets here.

New video online! George Fu playing my "Lady at her Toilet", live at Listenpony in 2018.

My short piece for string quartet and recorded sound just went live on the BBC Sounds website. 

This was written for New Creatives North, played by the Ligeti Quartet, with phone and field recordings by me.

Listen now on BBC Sounds. Or, find out more about the piece here.

Me and the other Listenpony composers were asked a while ago by Gramphone "what does it mean to be a composer today". Read our responses here

After recording string parts with the Ligeti Quartet earlier this week, and mixing a final draft on Tuesday, I've finished a piece called Ee well for the New Creatives North scheme, incorporating field recordings, new music for string quartet, and a load of illicitly recorded phone conversations with my parents. Online soon.

Looking forward to this great lineup - Joseph Havlat, Ligeti Quartet and Ana Silvera! I'll be writing a piece for Ligeti Quartet, and there'll also be music from Freya Waley-Cohen and Josephine Stephenson, and new pieces from Egidija Medekšaitė, Rūta Vitkauskaitė and Joseph Howard. Tickets here.

Excited to be a part of this scheme focussing on talent from the north! Am excited to be working on something different to my usual stuff: a work incorporating recorded voices, field recordings and instrumental music. Will be developing over the summer.
