Michael's Meditation Music

Born in New Zealand in 1961, I learnt piano with my grandmother, french horn and composition with my father.
I have plenty of information about harmonics and just intonation here and in my YouTube channel (Tuning the Horn - The Brass Whisperer).
I co-curate SydneyMicroFest with Kraig Grady. This is a celebration of microtonal and mesotonal music and we started it in 2017 after I participated in EUROMicroFest2017 in Freiburg.
I've composed for a variety of ensembles along with songs and percussion works. Most of my compositions include intervals from the harmonic series, extended just intonation. My music is published by Wirripang Pty Ltd (https://www.australiancomposers.com.au/).
I've held full-time playing positions with a number of Australian orchestras including Principal Horn, Queensland Philharmonic Orchestra. I have performed with almost every orchestra in Australia. I'm now a regular with the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra and Bach Akademie Australia (playing historical horns),  Chamber music credits include my ensemble LOCANA and Omega Ensemble. I've performed many horn concertos with orchestra, including Förster, Hadyn, Jacob, Mozart, Strauss, Telemann, Weber.
Teaching is an important part of my work such as schools in Sydney including Inaburra School, for which I've written a band program for beginners.
My music degrees are Doctor of Creative Arts, University of Wollongong (2011); MPhil in composition, University of Queensland and MMus in Musicology, Griffith University.
