Mandolin Orchestra, c.7'30
The music is in two main sections constructing melodies out of short repetitive fragments with energetic rhythmic ostinato patterns. Rhythmic impetus is one of the principal elements in Illawarra Dances. The rhythmic devices employed include the use of additive rhythms (alternating bars of 11/8 and 13/8) in the second main section of the piece that, along with the syncopated rhythms in the first section, continually propel the music along,

Piano solo, c.4'00
This is a short work inspired by the modern skyline of the Chinese city of Shanghai. The music falls into two parts: in the first part the music is relatively slow-paced and mostly made up of chords built out of fourths, and the second part of the piece the music is fast-paced with melodic contours that rise and fall across a wide range of the keyboard. Composed 2010 |

Cello and piano, c.10'00
This is in two large-scale parts reflecting two different perspectives of the title: the first half of the piece expresses a variety of mixed emotions brought about by a stressful ‘race against time’ – nervous anticipation, sudden angry outbursts, – while the second half of the piece tries to express the ‘emotional rush’ of a more exciting experience. Composed 2010 |

String Quartet, c.4'00
The surging 11/8 rhythm dominates the work and propels the music along, while the melodic lines, in their sinuous way, try to reflect the original meaning of the Aboriginal word ?Tallawarra? - "slippery place".
Tallawarra was commissioned by Musica Viva Australia as part of the ?Australian Miniatures? Project for Musica Viva Australia?s International Series in 2000.
