Description: The first of my three exercises in composing for a string quartet. I start with a piece in the baroque style of the 1700s.

The sole purpose of this piece is to demonstrate the concept of a chord progression.

Progressing Nicely

The first of my three exercises in composing for a string quartet. I start with a piece in the baroque style of the 1700s.

Out of Hiding

Scored using Dorico for iPad as an exercise in composing without access to an instrument.

Cairanne

Fulham Blues

This piece was written as an experiment in integrating blues motifs into a traditional classical string context. In the end, it wasn't as 'blue' or as avant garde as I intended but I am pleased with the overall effect. The performance has been mocked up using Native Instruments sample libraries, including the Stradavarius Cello.

Blue Ayari

An orchestral re-imagining of Robin Williamson's epic song for The Incredible String Band, conceived for the musical 'U' some 50 years ago.

Queen Of Love

A short example of a harmonic sequence, comp[osed for a classical guitar.

Three's A Circle

A track for harpsichord but in 5/4 time - yes it can be done! What would Bach have said?
