If mechanical instruments are your thing, you absolutely must visit the St Albans Instrument Museum, which boasts a startling array of musical contraptions, my favourite of which is probably the mechanical violin and piano duet. Check out this youtube clip for a hint of the flavour. Now read about my piece Caja de musica (which means "music box" in Spanish) which is inspired partly by music boxes and other mechanical instruments. My new solo harp piecePosted on 31 March 2009
 Introducing Caja de música, my new piece for solo harp, commissioned by the Concert Artists Guild, and written for the unspeakably awesome talents of Bridget Kibbey. Please everyone come to the premiere at Carneige's Weill Hall, April 28th. Details here Gumboots InterviewPosted on 03 March 2009
 Carnegie Hall has published an interview I did with them shortly before the premiere of Gumboots last October. In it you can hear me talk about my love of world music instruments shops, explain the connection between my temperament and gumboot dancing, and hear excerpts of Piosenki and Gumboots.
