A composer whose work spans five decades and explores the interface between sound, silence, ritual, and the natural world. 

His creative path began in the 1970s with studies in electroacoustic composition under Dieter Salbert in Bayreuth (1975), followed by research into spatial aspects of North American electronic music at the American Music Centre, Keele University (1976–78). Early compositional projects with Normedia and the Option Band were performed at the International Festival of Mixed Media (Ghent) and the ICA (London). He also collaborated on realisations of open-form works by Gavin Bryars, Jean-Yves Bosseur, and Pierre Mariétan.

In the 1980s, his work embraced postminimalist aesthetics, in addition to community collaborations with mime artist Rowan Tolley, a student of Marcel Marceau.

The 1990s were shaped by a decade-long cross-cultural research project into how music and sound are used to commune with nature, culminating in the publication of Music and the Earth Spirit - a reflection of both analytical and intuitive insight.

After travelling to Tibet in the 2000s, there was a return to composition with a heightened spiritual focus. Collaborations with visual artists - most notably soundtracks for works by painter Mary Barratt exhibited at Southwell Minster - signalled a turn towards a post-classical aesthetic, blending post-romantic references, extended tonality, and nuanced rhythmic structures.

Commenting upon his own creative process:

“It's as if I'm casting a line from the past to the present, creating an interface between simple and complex elements, balanced on the cusp between sound and silence.”

Natural forms, contemplative space, and the sacred remain recurring themes.

In the past two decades, his music has been performed in the UK by artists and ensembles including CoMA, Derby Concert Orchestra, Komposit Orchestra, Red Note Ensemble, and Siobhan Mooney; and internationally in France, Germany, and Switzerland (Duo Avance, Hermann Hesse Museum), South Africa (Viktor van Niekerk), and Canada (Vancouver Miniaturist Ensemble, Negative Zed).

He has also interviewed composers Roger Eno, Harold Budd, and Daniel Lentz for The Mouth Magazine.
