I often see each project as an opportunity to explore a new style of music, which keeps my work fresh and engaging.

I try to keep my compositional approach different for each piece, but certain textures and combinations of instruments often recur in my work.

I aim to create a moment of magic in every piece of music, which cannot be forced but must flow intuitively.

I find that collaborating with different musicians helps me think about instruments in new ways, especially since a significant portion of my music features guitar.

In my music, I avoid standard major and minor tonalities, often using poly-modal harmonies instead.

My PhD supervisor, Peter Dickinson, greatly influenced my approach to music by emphasizing the use of quotes and the blending of popular music styles into contemporary classical music.

I personally love new music, even if it's not for everyone, as many composers are often ahead of their time.

I believe that if a piece sounds good and captures the essence of the music, it will come across nicely, regardless of the original instrumentation.

To avoid clichés in my music, I use anti-romantic techniques to clean out the harmony and prevent banality.
