G’day.

I live and work in an old stone church on the edge of the South Australian desert. The words and music I’ve created here have been performed around the world, from farm sheds to cathedrals, concert halls and opera houses.

My works celebrate the silly, sad, beautiful and intricate, in chamber pieces for singers and collaborating instrumentalists.

I tell stories of misunderstood hidden characters, the ridiculous strange comedies of our days, and how simple domestic rituals open out to become mythic sagas.

My music weaves together folk and art music, an insatiable love of poetry and live performance, and a lifetime of singing, singers and songs.
