river [rain/flow/volume]

A fourteen and a half minute piece written for dance.

This could be for any river but the main inspiration was my local river, the Wye. The work consists of three movements – the rain falling at source, the rivulets flowing into babbling streams and then the volume moving across the fields and towns to the sea.

humfrey [the traveller]

A short fanfair of a tune dedicated to the late Frank Zappa.

It’s an expansion from a theme I wrote many years ago, living in a small village where the local church had a quirky memorial to this chap from the sixteenth century. Humfrey Coningsby Esq.

the rake

My first tune using Reason software. Click the image to hear it.

This is an Irish tune I’ve been playing[on the whistle]for many years now. I wanted to give it a laidback reggae feel and mess around with the ‘B’ part of the melody.

I’ll probably tweak it at some point, but for now…
