“Since moving to Cornwall in 2004, the landscape near my home has been a relentless source of inspiration for my work as a composer – locations such as the old mine workings at Botallack which appear in my video ‘Elly’s Theme’, through to the unspoiled cove at Porthgwarra, as featured in the video ‘Nancy’s Garden’. My music has been broadcast on the BBC, Classic FM and Sky TV. I love the solitary nature of being in the landscape, feeling the seasons change, and listening to nothing but the sound of the wind and waves, accompanied by the call of the gull. It is here that my creative spirit is ignited. Just as one of my favourite cakes needs to be left alone to rise and bake in the oven, music and ideas need time to ferment in my mind, and when they are ready, they will pop naturally into my thoughts.”
