Sheet music
Inspired by the Pembrokeshire Coast, airwaves explores three contrasting scenes in three movements.
"wave prayer" uses modal harmony and a gradual metric shift to evoke the rhythm of water.
"puffin hypothesis" contrasts the puffin's awkward waddle (percussive key clicks, staccato fragments) with its surprising grace in flight (chromatic harmonies, intricate counterpoint).
"symmetry prism" employs minimalist techniques—interlocking rhythmic patterns and a soaring alto solo—to capture the energy of standing at the edge of a cliff.

Dragonfly (2025) for flute and marimba captures graceful, hovering flight through fluttering rhythms, tremolos, and lyrical melodic lines. The duet requires four-mallet technique and features memorable melodies, energetic rhythms, and jazz-influenced harmonies. Suitable for intermediate players and appropriate for recitals and concerts.
