My compositions use a wide palette of sounds, involving the results of my investigation of natural sounds through the use of computer technology, synthetic sounds and environmental sounds as well as conventional instrumentation.

The overwhelming influence in my creative life is that of Olivier Messiaen - as a composer and as a remarkable human being, though others including J.S. Bach, Michael Tippett, Pierre Henry, Iannis Xenakis, John Cage, Pierre Boulez, Jonathan Harvey and Toru Takemitsu play no small part in my continuing development as a composer.
