Gary has composed works in various genres and settings, ranging from concert works and choral pieces to film scores, and music for the stage. His work often explores themes of communication and states of mind, for example ‘Tactile (four figures)’ explores the direct contact between viewer and sculpture in the work of Barbara Hepworth. As a singer he is particularly invested in writing for both solo voice and choir, including pieces such as ‘Lumen De Lumine’ for double choir, and ‘Sag, Solo Ice Reisen?’ for Mezzo-Soprano and piano. Recent works include projects with the Trick the Ear, a VR music platform, Green Opera Company, and with musicians from the Royal Academy. Gary currently studies with Edmund Finnis and he is keen to expand his work into incorporating more electronic elements, as well as continuing to write for film and the stage.
