I am driven to create striking, atmospheric and immersive sound worlds, which take the listener
on a journey. I love exploring rich, layered, kaleidoscopic harmonies that ebb and flow and
mutate.

You don’t have to formally study composition to write, look at scores you love, play pieces you love, find a way to communicate your ideas to performers or on the page

Dan Ludford-Thomas, composer & conductor

Live music making when committed and full throttle is one of the best things I can think of.

I write music that spans a large spectrum of styles – I love atonality; I love melodies; I love ultra-simple harmony – and I love being free to use all of these and many more – often within the same piece.
