From the Studio
Occasional stories behind the music — compositions, arrangements, recordings, teaching and the places and ideas that shape the work.
The music behind the music
A place for the stories, decisions and discoveries that sit behind the finished scores and recordings.

What belongs here
Occasional articles explore the ideas behind the scores, recordings and teaching — whenever there is something worth sharing.
Behind the Scores
Where a piece came from, what problem it was trying to solve, and what changed during the writing process.
From the Listening Room
Notes on recordings, production experiments and the electronic work released through Growling Gecko Label.
Teaching & Playing
Ideas about repertoire, playability, arranging and what decades of teaching continue to reveal about how people actually make music.
No content treadmill
From the Studio is deliberately occasional — new writing appears when there is genuinely something worth sharing.
The aim is simple: to deepen the connection between the music and the people who discover it.
Music first
The studio stories are here to support the music, not replace it. Listen to recordings, explore scores, or browse work for performers.
