about
'A musician of the hills’, Alexander lives and composes in the North-East Highlands of Scotland. His music, often inspired by his love of the natural world, has mystified those trying to place it into a genre. ClassicFM pronounced it to be ‘refreshingly original’, while Positive News concluded it is ‘neither Classical, Jazz or improvised, but a glimpse of something new’. His music has been aired extensively on TV and radio, including on Radio 2, Radio 3, Radio 4 and has been a regular sound on ClassicFM since the station discovered his music in 2013.
June 2025 sees the release of his new album for solo piano, ‘Oak’. Recorded in a small studio set amongst an ancient woodland near Inverness, and featuring Alexander’s original artwork, the album is a timely collection of nature-inspired music, representing a search for a simple but profound connection to the natural world, and acting as a resolution of hope in the face of the environmental challenges of our day.
