Solo music
Notes: A fantasy based on an ice cave with scalloped sidewalls, stalactites dripping water, light reflecting off ice crystals and a trickling stream running down the centre of the cave.
Composed: 2023.
Instrument: Piano.
Notes: About continually striving to achieve something, but no matter what approach one takes or how hard the effort, one just keeps being stonewalled.
Composed: 2019.
Instrument: Piano.
Notes: In three parts representing: (i) An initial state of balanced equilibrium and harmony; (ii) a gradual slide into something that reflects a marred reality - something that’s okay, but slightly out of balance; (iii) a return to the initial state; and (iii) playful joy at the return to equilibrium and harmony.

Composed: 2010.
