 * Keep. Passes WP:NMUSIC and WP:GNG. My university music library contains scores and recordings of some of his music. Additionally, his works are discussed in some academic music journals. For example, his piece Vertigo is one of the pieces examined in Chapman, Jane (2001). "Notes inégales in contemporary music?" Contemporary Music Review, 20(1), pages 59-69 which is a scholarly work on employing baroque harpsichord techniques within contemporary classical works. His 2004 work with Anna Best, Vauxhall Pleasure, is analyzed and discussed in detail on pages 83 and 84 of . Here is a review in Gramophone of his music; although brief. His music is also discussed in And that's just with a cursory 10 minute search in my university search engine. There's likely concert reviews in newspapers as his works have premiered with some major ensembles.4meter4 (talk) 00:36, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
