Hall of Fame 2005/2006. He began composing music in the early 1980s and began ‘Seven Wonders’ in 2000, completing the work in 2003.
His musical interests are wide and varied embracing jazz, electronic and avant garde. Classical music has always been his first love, however, and his primary influences of Mozart, Chopin, Debussy and Satie have inspired much of his output, particularly ‘Seven Wonders’.
Stuart is presently working on a symphony stimulated by Edinburgh’s history, architecture and cultural development. His completed works include a cello sonata, a symphonic suite entitled ‘The Design of a Tear’, an experimental piece based on the musical possibilities of DNA
research and various chamber works. He is also in negotiations to perform one of his compositions at an open air concert at The Great Pyramid of Giza in 2012.
2005 saw Stuart's first major classical CD release of his score Seven Wonder Suite for Orchestra, performed by The Prague Symphony Orchestra

Concert Hall in Prague.
Stuart now feels that the most fulfilling and spiritual aspect to music is the inspirational and creative development of your own musical 'inner voice' and researching the healing aspects of music and its beneficial effects for all life on Earth.
