Compositions |
This page provides a somewhat eclectic mix of my recent compositions which
have been gradually written and recorded over the last six or
seven years by myself,
former colleagues from the Halle Orchestra,
members of Psappha, New Noise and students from Manchester University and the R.N.C.M. Most,
but not
all. of these works have been composed while studying as a postgraduate
student at Manchester University. If you would like further
information or to obtain scores,
please e-mail me - further
contact details appear on the Contact page(!!)
