Composer

My main love is composing and I compose in a wide range of styles, being influenced from punk-rock to classical, from film scores to Romantic song cycles. I began composing at an early age when I wrote studies for myself to play as a beginner euphonium player. I have studied under Judith Weir, Bernard Hughes, Matthew Mills, and I am currently studying under Michael Zev Gorden, John Habron and Andy Fisher. For the past year I have been composer in residence (and co-conductor) for the Southampton University Brass Band, and hope to continue in the next academic year.

Some of my latest works include:
- A Suite for Symphonic Wind Orchestra, (premiered by the Southampton University Symphonic Wind Orchestra on Sunday 2nd March - St Mary's Church, Southampton) - Listen
- Wedding Music for a Euphonium Fanfare Band - Listen
- Olympic Overture (winner of the "Baby" SUSO Composers Competition)
- Much (and his merry band of women, children and the elderly) An all age comedy musical
- A Trip Round the U.K. commissioned by the Southampton University Brass Band
- Purple for Tuba/Euph Quartet commissioned by John DelVento and the Acatuba Quartet
- A River Leam Suite commissioned by Warwick University Wind orchestra
- Boundaries for Wind Orchestra (premiered February 2010)
I am currently working on a euphonium concerto and study book.

For the full range of compositions please see the catalogue page.

Arranger
I have also studied arranging and arrange for a wide selection of ensembles.

I am also always happy to colaborate with other composers/performers.
