Welcome to the Archives (proceed with caution!)

This playlist contains recordings of solo acoustic piano performances, piano and tenor saxophone duets (I play both instruments on these), experimental electronic/MIDI performances, chamber music and choral music. The music is varied stylistically (jazz, legit…). I decided to upload them to the site despite that fact that some are a bit old as I think they paint a picture of my musical endeavours over the years. I was very happy to have discovered the Body and Soul performance recently as I don’t seem to have many examples showing that I was for many years, primarily a saxophone player.
