Heading to the Canary Islands International Contemporary Music Festival to conduct Riot Ensemble in Tenerife and Gran Canary with world premieres from Rubens Askenar and Golnaz Shariatzadeh, alongside the Spanish premiere of Clara Iannotta’s They left us grief trees wailing at the wall (written for us in 2019)

I’m thrilled to be writing a new work for cellist Louise McMonagle, including immersive spatialised electronics in d&b Soundscape. The piece will be premiered on 29th September at Kings Place (and I will be engineering/mixing the whole concert).  

My work As the soul receds in what the years bring received its World Premiere performance at the Deal Music & Arts Festival. Conducted by Thomas Kemp with Chamber Domaine, the performance was every bit as weird, wild and wonderful as I was hoping for!

The project has been supported by HCMF Shorts (2024), and has recently received funding from the PRS Foundations Open Fund.  Marie […]

It’s been a real and unusual joy to work on a new piece to ‘interrupt’ Bach’s 2nd Brandenburg Concerto (something I think you can all imagine me doing!) and I am hugely looking forward to the premiere this summer at the Deal Music & Arts Festival with Chamber Domaine and […]

One of my new pieces involving spatial audio this year is a work for my friend, colleague and fantastic violinist Marie Schreer. If I Am from Somewhere I Am From There will be a 20 minute piece for violin, electronics and video that dwells on the ideas of home, belonging and migration. […]

We have established a new 3-year residency where six performers and three composers from the Royal Academy of Music will work closely alongside Riot Ensemble to develop their work in contemporary music. I’ve led the fundraising and design of the course, and am hugely excited to see where the students […]

I’m thrilled to be returning to Wigmore Hall with Riot Ensemble for the World Premiere performance of Jocelyn Campbell’s f o r e v e r 1 9 9 0 for voice and ensemble, on 29th June at 1pm.
