He is also an enthusiastic chamber musician and works with many freelance string quartets is the NorthWest. He has a particular interest in contemporary chamber music and have taken part in some exciting projects in this field, including in an Arts council funded tour playing alongside the electro acoustic trio Bark! in which he played two epic works by the composer Iannis Xenakis. The duo Dikhthas(for violin and piano with pianist Richard Casey) and the string trio Ikhoor(with Raymond Lester on viola and Simon Turner on cello)
He also has worked on many film and Tv productions, being involved in both filming and recording of sound tracks.
