Influences: Very wide ranging, as I've kind of come to music from a sort of left of centre approach. Reich was definitely an early influence. I just heard it and thought that, wow can music really sound like this and that lead to discoveries of earlier stuff such as Stravinsky, and Bartok. More recently I have been getting into Messiean, Birtwistle, Cage and Ligeti. Outside of the 'classical' field I guess I've been influenced by various Jazz such as Coltrane, Miles Davies and Monk.
Other more obtuse influences probably come from my interest in indian music after a trip there last year where I became interested in the likes of Pt Hari Prasad and the Mishra brotheres.Also I have alot of involvement with drama both on a composition and performance level and I take Peter Brook and Theatre de Complicite to be huge influences as far as that is concerned
