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.
2024 sees the release of a new project, which involves his piano being taken into a timber plantation in the Scottish Highlands. In collaboration with the star Scottish folk singer, Julie Fowlis, the music and film, titled Where Now A Dark Wood Stands, is a moving contribution to the urgent conversation about the state of our natural world.
