"Siegebreakers can be best described as a mash up of Castle Crashers and Minecraft. You and your friends play as the Siegebreakers, a group of dwarven mercenaries who hire out their services to castles under attack. Get ready to bash in some goblin skulls!"

Siegebreakers - Rally The Dwarves

I currently reside in Scotland, where I completed my PhD in music at The University of Edinburgh.

Alongside my career as an educator, I have been self-employed variously as composer, conductor, musical director and record producer for a range of international clients, including The University of Edinburgh and Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, EMI Music, Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Caroline O'Connor, Sir Robert Helpmann, Sir Howard Morrison. My work has featured in performances at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Royal Albert Hall and Garrick Theatre (London), Sydney Opera House and Melbourne Hamer Hall (Australia), the Australian Embassy (New York), Sala Accademica di Santa Cecilia (Rome) and Edinburgh University.

I have 27 IMDb credits as orchestrator, associate composer and musician for feature films, television documentaries, mini series, and over 30 Discogs alnum recording credits.  I have been a frequent conductor of studio orchestras, including Melbourne Symphony Orchestra for the feature film Frauds. Many of the media to which I have contributed have themselves achieved critical and popular acclaim, including LA International Film Festival, Indie Films, BAFTA Award (The Making of Longbird), Best Film Score (Crush), an Oscar (The Adventures Of Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert), Triple Platinum record sales (Come In Spinner - ABC) and an Australian Aria Award nomination (Cash Landing – EMI Music).

Stars in films I have orchestrated include Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett, Hugo Weaving, Phil Collins, Josephine Byrnes, Lee Majors, Jack Scalia, Bob Peck, Guy Pearce, Terence Stamp. I worked with Torvill & Dean as arranger and pianist for their album Here We Stand. I have performed extensively as keyboardist, including over 400 performances of Andrew Lloyd Webber's show Cats (Really Useful Theatre Company) and Phantom of the Opera (Cameron Mackintosh Limited), and as musical director for independent productions. 

My most recent commission was to arrange, conduct, mix and master the vocal and orcestral music for the Glenfiddich 21yo Whisky ad campaign, so far exceeding 1.7 million hits, viewable on my YouTube channel below.  My current commission is to compose a new 4 movement symphony for the Orchestra of the Canongait.

I have the digital technology necessary to work in-house in my private studio at:
