portrait
I am a multi-instrumentalist, teacher, composer and researcher living on Lake Macquarie, just north of Sydney, Australia. I have a PhD in computational musicology and am interested in things that range between music, computer science and philosophy. I am also a passionate educator with extensive experience teaching students of all ages and backgrounds.

I currently play both in solo settings, and in a number of different groups which range in style from jazz to electronic and experimental music. My group SAJA Project with Sally Jamila has just released an album which you can check out here.
