ABOUT DUAL ATTRACTOR
I launched my latest solo Dual Attractor on ABC Classic and with the support of Music Australia in February 2026. It features new percussion solos and arrangements by Missy Mazzoli, Caroline Shaw, Anne Meredith, Kate Moore, Gemma Peacocke, Natalie Williams and myself and Paul Mac. You can enjoy the album at the below links, and if you're a percussionist looking for the scores to program in your next recital, the good news is all of the scores will be available very soon. Click on the links above for the scores that are already published.

QUARTET X
Launching in 2027 and driven by a pursuit to radically reimagine chamber music, Quartet X blur the lines between classical, pop and everything in between.
Featuring some of Australia’s most versatile female musicians, with Courtenay Cleary on the violin, Claire Edwardes on percussion, Emily Granger on harp and Karin Schaupp on guitar, every performance stretches, bends and redefines what the traditional string quartet can be.
From the distinct rhythmic sound worlds of Caroline Shaw and Holly Harrison into fresh arrangements of Seal, Billie Eilish and Michael Nyman’s The Piano, you can expect radiant new interpretations of the songs you know by heart.
If you’ve ever bopped along while watching Bridgerton, consider this your ticket to a musical experience that is as much a guilty pleasure as it is moving.

I acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which I live and create, the Gadigal people of the Eora nation. This land has been a place of culture and music making for over 60,000 years and we are very fortunate to make art and continue a living culture on it.
