Here's a piece from the 2020 work for New York Botanical Garden 'For Love and Only for Love' - it was a strange experience to have to record each choir member separately... not something I would ever do by choice but a poignant memory now that I look back...

Great to hear ‘Artahe’ from ‘The Sky Beneath Our Feet’ up at The Wild Center recently, where the first outdoor iForest opened back in 2017.

John Luther Adams's installation 'Veils and Vesper' is at centre but there's also a phenomenal set of live performances and, of course, I'd love to go but can't! But Maybe You Can!???

I think some of my own installation at Brookfield Place for New Sounds Live back in 2016 'Song of the Human' might be on tonight's edition of New Sounds on WNYC too! Ah, those whispering palms...

I'm delighted to be back on WNYC New Sounds tonight in an interview with John and with music from the 72 speaker installation The Sky Beneath Our Feet which was in LA last year.
(Some of the music from the installation will also be on Stuart Maconie's BBC6 show this Sunday)
