08/01/19 - Another year and some exciting projects are coming along. I've been busy at work on a piece for accordion and wind quintet, commissioned by Bjarke Mogensen and Opus Zoo. And throughout the whole of last year I've been working on a long-standing passion project of mine; to record a CD of music delving into the possibilities of modern technology in the hands of a classical composer. The music ranges from lyrical piano and cello to dynamic analogue synths and seeks to find a meaningful blend between the two worlds. I'm hoping to have it all wrapped up before the year is out!
12/01/18 - Two years and a week after starting work on my first symphony, it has now been sent to the Copenhagen Phil! Together with that I've been busy making arrangements of two operas; first came Handel's Alcina, for the Opera Academy in Copenhagen and then Bizet's Carmen, for the Malmö Opera in Sweden. It's with a sense of relief and gratitude that these projects have been completed and sent off...now comes the anticipation of getting to hear it all come to life!

26/01/17 - I have been invited to take part in a project for the European Composer & Songwriter Alliance (ECSA) where they are testing the waters with crowdfunding and new music.
