His music has been described as 'A kind of poetry of falling rain, wind against stone with skies disrupted by man-made sounds......a music that contrasts half-etched tunes with subtle layers of light and colour. It inhabits a world of seasonal rituals, regional myth and historical-personal memories. It uses theatre, extended techniques and everyday sounds to evoke this world.
Performances and commissions feature from many of the world's leading performers and festivals, including BBC Proms, Joanna MacGregor, London Sinfonietta, BBC Philharmonic, Ensemble Bash, Scottish Flute Trio, and the Bath, Huddersfield, Edinburgh and Glastonbury festivals.
