This post is in the Musical Practice category

These projects have been selected to demonstrate the range of work over a music career of nearly twenty-five years. They include many theatre scores, especially with Brisbane company Zen Zen Zo, but reveal an interest in theatre and dance going back to my earliest professional projects such as The Dove and Wildfire World Theatre productions. The list also indicate a strongly collaborative practice, with no major works done alone or bearing my own name as "artist."
