Working with brilliant people is the great honour that comes with collaboration and notable experiences have included working with Malaysian composer and academic Valerie Ross on Blue Spot performing as an additional ‘body instrument’ with Jorg Fachner (saz), Tom Ainge (voice), Hibiki Ichikawa (tsugaru shamizen), Deepak Venkateshvaran (tabla), Shuraifa Faruqi (electronics) at Chuchill College Chapel in 2014.”This composition is an outcome of the composer’s research interest in brainwave activity particularly among musicians. This interest is spurred by the composer’s observations of traditional music and musical instruments used in rituals and healing ceremonies. The engagement of music to elicit organic reactions and as a medium for healing date back to Ancient times” Ross, V.
