His work addresses the evolution of forms and languages of improvisation, intercultural collaborations (notably Indonesian gamelan and Indian music), sound installations and performances. His recent compositions explore the ideas of time and place, the present moment and its resonances with the past. As a pianist, he is best known for his interpretations of experimental music, from Erik Satie to John Cage, to Morton Feldman, as well as to his original compositions. From 1989 to 2002, he was director of the first degree course of Indian Music in the UK at City University, Birmingham. He now teaches ethnomusicology, composition and piano at the Carcassonne conservatoire.
