i am a composer and pianist: my music is largely concerned with the physicality of performance and its related conceits. i favour overtly physical, sonically palpable experiences: by extension, i often try to bring the relationship between corporeal action and sound-making to the fore. my work in the last few years encourages spontaneity, excess and risk-taking in performance, the goal being the carnal, sensual experience of sound itself.

i often refer to my work as having been written in a “confessional spirit” – formative experiences with confessional poetry (bukowski, plath etc.) has often encouraged in my own music some form of autobiographical, extramusical impetus.

as a pianist I perform almost exclusively contemporary concert music, notably with the award-winning b-l piano duo and more recently, as a founding member of singaporean collective weird aftertaste. with the former, we were winners of the prestigious royal over-seas league competition in 2017.

i’ve had work performed and/or have performed at events such as the bbc proms (london), huddersfield contemporary music festival, ultraschall berlin, gaudeamus festival, maerzmusik (berlin), darmstädter ferienkurse, musik 21 (hannover), inTRANSIT festival (london), bloomsbury festival (london), london ear festival, sounds like THIS (leeds), asian composers league festival and conference, wmc kerkrade, thailand new music and arts symposium, thailand international composers festival and the singapore international festival of arts.
