September 2024: My first ever setting of the Latin Mass has just been completed. The title translates as 'Measured Mass', a reference to the work's use of mensuration canon. This is a device whereby the speed of the canons is directly related to their relative starting note. Canons at the same pitch run at the same speed; a canon an octave below moves at half the speed, a fifth below at two-thirds the speed and so on. This process is strictly adhered to, albeit with the rhythms 'quantized' to the nearest quaver for both practical and musical reasons.

March 2024: Excited to report that my music is now starting to appear on Spotify and Tidal streaming services. More tracks will be added over the coming weeks, including the entire Worlds set and other recently re-mastered works.

December 2023: A new mix of the live recording of my piece Clarion Song, for trumpet and organ, is now available. Recorded at its premiere in St. Bride's Church, Fleet St. in March 2022 as part of JAM's Music of our Time series, this new recording rebalances the instruments and removes extraneous audience noises. Thanks to Edward Armitage for the original sound engineering and to performers Alan Thomas (trumpet) and Simon Hogan (organ).

November 2023: The flute and piano version of my Opus 39 Moonlighting, premiered and recorded last year, has now been mixed, mastered and uploaded to Soundcloud. Performed by flautist Will Sleath and pianist Tim Carey, it can be heard by navigating to my works page or via the link on this news item.

July 2023: This very extended work brings together Worlds One to Five into a single, re-mixed span. A work designed for deep listening and mindfulness, optional supporting visual images of the natural world have been curated and sequenced to evoke other spaces, emotions, life-cycles and states of being. To listen, click on the Works tab and choose 'Worlds - complete'.

July 2023: The latest incarnation of my opus 39 'Moonlighting', an expanded arrangement for Bb clarinet and piano, is now available. Navigate to the work via the Works tab, where scores may be perused and downloaded. A simulation recording is also available while it awaits a first performance.

February 2023: Worlds Five has now been released. This is the last in my series of extended works designed for deep listening and mindfulness. Where Worlds One, Two and Four are largely reflective in character and Worlds Three is dark and disturbing, Worlds Five has emerged as rhythmic, aggressive, yet ultimately optimistic in tone. It is also the shortest of the cycle, contrary to my initial design for an extended final movement. To listen, click on the Works tab and choose Worlds Five.

April 2022: Worlds Four has now been released on YouTube and Soundcloud. As a counterweight to the intensity of Worlds Three, this work is profoundly meditative and static. At a time of international conflict, climate crises, pandemics, population displacements and ever more uncertain futures, it may serve as a sonic space into which to escape, or through which to connect more holistically with who we are and what we wish to become. To listen, click on the Works tab and choose Worlds Four.

March 2022: Music of our Time. March 23rd saw the long-awaited première of my piece Clarion Song for trumpet and organ, wonderfully played by Alan Thomas, lead trumpeter of Onyx Brass, and organist Simon Hogan.

March 2022: Worlds Three is to be released on Soundcloud and YouTube on Thursday 17th March. This is the third in a series of extended, ambient works designed for deep listening and mindfulness. Whilst Worlds One and Two are meditative in character, Worlds Three has emerged as darker and more menacing. It has been described as both terrifying and beautiful. To listen, click on the Works tab and choose Worlds Three.

February 2022: Worlds Two has now been released on YouTube. Originally conceived to mark the 50th anniversary of the Moon landings, Worlds has become instead a work with multiple meanings; the project, like the world we live in, turned upside down by climate crises, pandemics, population displacements and ever more uncertain futures. It may be seen as a sonic space into which to escape, or through which to connect more holistically with who we are and what we wish to become.

January 2022: My piece Clarion Song, chosen by the John Armitage Memorial (JAM) for its 2020 season at St. Brides Church, Fleet Street, but postponed due to the Covid outbreak, is finally scheduled to receive its première on Wednesday 23rd March 2022.

November 2021: Worlds One has now been released on Soundcloud and YouTube. This is the first in a series of extended, ambient works for meditative listening and mindfulness. Sounds evolve slowly and organically, without ever relying upon exact repetition. Though digitally mixed and mastered, all source material benefits from the richness of its analogue origins.
