SOLO WORKS
The Five Elements (2025)
In 2025 I released an album of solo piano inspired by the Five Elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This diagnostic tool (which was also used to make sense of natural cycles of transformation and decay) forms the basis of a personality archetype system developed by Carey Davidson, from which I also drew a great deal of inspiration. The album is structured in pairs of tracks; the first of each explores the qualities of Davidson's archetypes; the second maps the process of "balancing" these personalities when their (our) needs are obfuscated. I launched this album at a sold-out concert at the Melbourne Recital Centre on my 30th birthday.
Improvisations (2018-2023)
In 2018 I challenged myself to release a volume of 10 x 5 minute solo piano improvisations every month that year. The project continued intermittently some years after (and I may pick it up again in the future). I recorded all these improvisations on my piano at home and released everything I recorded irrespective of my own judgements on the performance––a bracing test for the ego! I learned a lot from this project about accepting what I make with love, especially when it feels fragile or chaotic.

All 18 and a half volumes of this project are available for free stream and download on my Bandcamp page.
