"I love the way the guitar and electronics shape-shift. At one point you hear an allusion to classical Spanish guitar, then you're in a radiophonic studio or hearing morse code in a lighthouse" - Sarah Mohr-Pietsch, BBC Radio 3
About:
I am a composer who is often inspired by, and responds to, text and literature. You will find me working happily on instrumental and electronic concert-hall music.
Current projects include a collaboration with Lotte Betts-Dean exploring Thomas Hardy's influence on English Art Song and a spin-off project with the Ligeti Quartet which responds to Hardy's poem 'Afterwards'. In 2021 I am also writing a song cycle for Wild Plum Arts and an orchestral overture for the University of Bristol Symphony Orchestra.
