A bit more about me...
Bio:
I was fortunate to be born into a family where music formed as much a part of my childhood as food and play did. Being immersed in the music of the great classical composers led me to begin learning the piano at an early age, studying traditional piano techniques to obtain performance and teaching diplomas from Trinity College and, later, an honours diploma in composition from the Academy of Musicology (Qld.). But my main love was always composition and I began to focus more directly on this with my first CD 'ISIS' in 1993 and later 'The Cradle Mountain Suite' in 1996.
Moving from the Hunter valley in N.S.W. to Northern Tasmania in 1994 brought me into contact even more with the untamed freedom and beauty of nature and my music is always an attempt to interpret this - on one or many levels. The wild nature of this beautiful planet we inhabit is always my inspiration.
The availability of new technology in the field of digital multi-sampling of acoustic orchestral and ethnic instruments and choirs has brought new possibilities for composers and I find it a never-ending process of learning and experimenting, hopefully with an end product which listeners will enjoy. (Most of my music is also scored for live performance.) My compositions draw on many styles of music - from classical, sacred and impressionist to elements of world music and jazz.
I compose, play, mix and produce my own CDs. I have also done some soundtrack work for small productions, and would love to do more of this type of work.
