In the late eighties he co-founded the group ‘3 or 4 composers’ (with Laurence Crane, Helen Ottaway, Melanie Pappenheim and Jocelyn Pook).
In 2012 his authorized arrangement for solo piano of Steve Reich's ‘Clapping Music’ was released on the album Which way is up?.
His music is broadly described as postminimalist or minimalist, influenced by Terry Riley, Philip Glass et al. Another important influence was the work of the so-called English experimental composers such as Howard Skempton, Michael Parsons and Christopher Hobbs and his association with Laurence Crane and Graham Fitkin.
A series of works dealing with fundamental aspects of music; 'Tune', 'Harmony', 'Rhythm' & 'Sixty Minutes' (which is primarily concerned with time) were released in the 2010s.
He performed in the original production of Tony Harrison's The Trackers of Oxyrhynchus in Greece and at the Royal National Theatre London.
