Combines Western progressive tradition with African and Asian elements. Known as a maverick, pushing each piece to a stylistic extreme so that characteristic patterns have become clear only over a long timeframe.
Primarily an orchestral and inctrumental composer, often exploring microtonal and other non-standard performance approaches; some electronic work for dance, some music theatre, and a number of vocal and choral pieces.
Highlights:
- Wymondham Chants (1970), see CD by Kings Singers
- Visions for Orchestra (1975), BBC broadcast 1976 and live premiere 1985
- Ten (1981) piano, see Peter Lawson Plays (ECR 001)
- String Quartets commissioned by Lindsay Quartet:
- #1 (1983) based on Indian Saranghi techniques and microtonal modes
- #2 (1990) on African drumming and Gambian dance-song
