Good friends, collaborators and gifted musicians, The NOISE have a huge part of my recent musical journey. They recorded my first string quartet Merge/Emerge on their recent album Composed Noise.

Divergence Jazz

Orchestra

Sydney based big band directed by Jenna Cave

Mara Music

Australia's premier world music ensemble

The Mara band has been one of the most formative groups in my career. Since I joined in 1997, Mara has taken me on countless European, North American, Asian and national tours. The Mara band has performed thousands of concerts for Musica Viva in Schools.

With a foundation in music of the Balkans, especially Bulgaria, Macedonia as well as Greece and Turkey, we also compose much of our own music. Many albums are available here as well as news of upcoming projects.

Andrew Robson

Long term collaborator, friend and one of Australia's most exciting voices on saxophone

Andrew and I have developed a special rapport as performers over the years in groups such as The Original Otto Orchestra and Mara! Check out his prolific output as composer and leader/coleader.

Divergence Jazz Orchestra is a 19 piece big band led by composer Jenna Cave. Their 3rd album Shadows and Light, was recorded at Rancom Studio, engineered by Ross Ahern. I was fortunate to be commissioned by them to write my Darkness of Silence back in 2016 and it's been an honour to collaborate with Jenna and the orchestra to finally record and release it.
