My skills as a composer, such as they are, are augmented by my experience in a wide variety of instrumental traditions. I have studied the traditional music and instrumental techniques of Ireland, Scotland, the Balkans, Greece, Turkey, Sardinia, Calabria, Algeria, Egypt, sub-Saharan Africa, South Africa, India, Indonesia and China. I have studied with Hariprasad Chaurasia, Djivan Gasparian, Ayub Ogada, Giannis Aramatanidis, and with musicians from the Kurdish, Iranian and Albanian communities in London. I have lectured at Goldsmiths College, Bath Spa University, London Metropolitan University and Brighton Early Music Festival.
