As it happens

 

As it happens

 

This album was conceived by Paul Castle and myself.

For many years Paul has been encouraging me to record a solo piano album..... I was always "never quite ready"! However last year we started a collaboration whereby we would convert my living room into a recording studio and Paul would record my compositions as they happened, with as little editing or splicing as possible - hence the title As it happens.

Guest musicians for the occasional duet include Jacqueline Norrie, Michael Lukes and Paul Castle.

I am currently working on new compositions of solo works and compositions for media projects.
