Today marks the end of my formal studies as a student of Bath Spa Uni, with the completion of my most recent work Introspection.
Introspection combines field recordings captured during the height of the original UK lockdown along with compositions which for me, have a reflective quality. At almost 37 minutes long, this is the longest piece I have written to date and is now available to listen to on Soundcloud.

'Intraspection' is the working title for my next composition.
The last few years has been quite a journey, and this work will represent a culmination of my endeavours during the last two years of study.
As a result of lockdown, isolation has possibly given many of us too much time to reflect on life, but this title feels like a good creative place from which to start.
I am not yet sure how practical it will prove to include live recordings of fellow musicians, but I am excited to see how this project turns out.
Not a bad way to spend the summer!

A concert featuring new music by fellow master's students from Bath Spa University was due to take place at the Michael Tippett centre on Wednesday 6 May 2020.
Given the current lockdown in the UK and the continuing spread of Covid-19, it is looking increasing like this concert will not now take place.
Thoughts and wishes go out to anyone who has been affected by this dreadful disease, and I sincerely hope that it will not be too long before the world is able to recover from this pandemic.
I also hope that it will be possible to re-schedule this concert for a later date, so that this group of talented people will have the opportunity for their music to be heard.
