Jack has been playing piano and composing since age ten. He writes and performs music for the stage, and for film and visual media. He most recently won the 2023 Apuglia Soundtrack Awards ‘Best Emerging Composer’ category and was a 2023 finalist for an APRA AMCOS Professional Development award. Jack has composed music for several award winning Dominik György films; ‘The Touching’ in 2019 & ‘The Next One’ in 2020 and has written music for award winning directors Dan & Sean Fox; ‘God In The Sky’ 2021, and Adam Ciancio; ‘Laughter Club’, 2022. He also has piano music published within Australia, and recently released a debut EP; ‘Waltzes from the Shore‘ for felt piano. He lives in London, and is currently working on a 2025 co-production between Brisbane Festival & Victorian Theatre Company, alongside a new film with Dan & Sean Fox.
His style is influenced greatly by post-minimalism and ambience, as well as elements of modernism and jazz. What is consistent across his work is its strength of emotional conceptualisation; his ideas can stand alongside film, be presented in the concert hall, or be played for a group of friends and always translate their emotional intent clearly. His creative rationale is that music can achieve a timeless quality, and should always seek to do so. With the goal of writing and playing to provoke true ‘listening’, he hopes to have a meaningful and lasting impact on what people feel through music.
