Big Chill Signing
I am very, very happy to announce that I have signed a deal to release 'A Darker Sunset' on Big Chill's excellent record label. With artists such as Mr. Scruff and Tom Middleton on the roster I am in mighty company. Thank you to all of you who have waited so patiently! Release is set for June and as soon as I have an exact date I will post it here.

Lonely Bay
Cellist Peter Gregson recorded 'Lonely Bay', a piece I composed for him in January, in Banff, Canada. He will also be performing the work on April 25th 2008 at 7:30pm Greyfriars Kirk in Edinburgh. The work was composed as part of Peter's 'Spem' project involving a recording of Thomas Tallis's iconic 40 part motet 'Spem in Alium' and commissioning composers to write a piece based on the work.

Here is a link to a short video of the amazing evening in Liverpool with the bays and the Heritage Orchestra.
Matthew Barley Tour
Cellist extraordinaire Matthew Barley who fronted BBC's 'Classical Star'' series last year embarks on a tour of British cathedrals on 19th April. He will perform two new suites of newly composed music written by me over the last few months plus the two pieces I wrote for him last year. In Matthew's usual imaginative style of mixing traditional styles (he's also playing J.S. Bach) the music will involve electronics and live improvisation all through Ableton Live.
