Lots of interesting synthesis and groove are the main things I usually look out for. The artwork was provided by my supremely talented friend Shifter. Click Here to listen!

Read More...]]> Thanks to all who came to my quintet concert on the 7th January. It was so great to have such a big audience to hear the commissioned pieces performed for the first time. Thanks to Clement Pianos for supplying a fantastic instrument, to Ste at the Dealmaker Label for all the hard work in promotion and looking after us, and to Richard at the Nottingham Contemporary for commissioning the work. Finally thanks to Ivo Neame, James Allsopp, Riaan Vosloo and Tim Giles for all their hard work rehearsing and learning my incredibly difficult and fussy music!

There’s a video and audio recording of the concert which should be up in the Portfolio soon once it’s been edited, but for now there are a few photos up in the gallery.

The commission is to run alongside the exhibition by artist Klaus Weber, who works mainly with sculpture and installation. Themes presented in his work will be explored in three new compositions of mine. We will also be playing a set of standards and some of my other quintet music.

Taken from the second half of our concert, here are six extracts from a collection of six pieces I’ve called the JM Barrie collection. They were commissioned by the organisers of Clifton Festival, and are based on paintings and illustrations by Edmund Blampied, who illustrated the first edition of the novel, Peter and Wendy. The text also provided much of the background for the work. Hope you enjoy! Recorded by Gerallt Ruggiero. Mixed by Andy Wright. Artwork by Kate Buchanan.

Read More...]]> I must say a huge thank you to all my friends, family and all those who attended and supported my concert at this fantastic event. It was an excellent audience, who all seemed to enjoy the music, regardless of it’s challenging nature! Arthur Lea played amazingly, stepping in for Ivo Neame who sadly could not make it (he was performing at the Copenhagen Jazz festival though so we will forgive him!). There is a recording of the concert, which I am currently having mixed and mastered, which will be available to buy soon. Every member of the group sounded phenomenal. The artwork is already looking fantastic thanks to Kate Buchanan.

A huge thank you to all involved.
