My current research focuses on the adaptation of rudimental drum etudes to the guitar so to develop pick technique, articulation, dynamics, phrasing, dexterity, and rhythmic accuracy. Furthermore, some of this material has been re-configured from duple and triple-based sub-divisions into quintuplet and septuplet subdivisions. This process has allowed me to create an individual language of phrasing within the meters of 15 and 21 both on the drum set and guitar. These modified drum etudes and the resultant phraseology form the bedrock for a series of compositions and specific rhythms I have been workshopping and performing with the Carl Dewhurst Trio throughout 2022-23.

I will be recording an album of this work with Cameron Undy, Lisa Parrott and Alex Inman Hislop mid 2024.
