He has created scores for the London Symphony Orchestra, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Juilliard, the orchestra of Welsh National Opera, The Crossing, BBC Television and the Royal Opera House as well as creating seven operas and music theatre works.
Insomnia Poems was first performed for BBC Radio 3’s ‘Jazz on 3’ in January 2009 and broadcast on March 23rd 2009.
