I have been a composer since I was a teenager but for most of my professional life I was an academic chemist. I am retired from chemistry now devoting myself to composing, teaching, playing and directing early music as well as my own music. I won the 2007 Viola da Gamba Society of Great Britain composition contest for writing a modern In Nomine, and have written many modern pieces employing early instruments such as lute, viol and recorder. You will find music of very different types here, some of it in the atonal academic style of the 1960s, much tonal music influenced by a variety of early 20th century music styles and pieces which are approaching the style I am currently developing.
I will get a recent picture of me playing something, instead of reading the newspaper. I had a picture of me looking a bit ill up here for 1 day, I jokingly thought of asking members if they could diagnose what what was wrong as a medic told me the moment he saw me what he thought it was. he was wrong. I will be a lot better in early September, getting back to microphones, scraps of paper and computers......
