Lucinda’s music is best heard through a lens of increased timbral and textural focus with minimalistic tendencies. An array of media types such as texts and photography are used to present their work as well as being influences. They are known for composing music involving bird behaviour and recent research into avian cognition, allowing them to understand and authentically depict birds. Patterns and processes including python code are important elements of their music which they have been using in conjunction with their experience of synaesthesia to create relationships between different senses including colour, light, sound and smell. Recently they have been exploring sonorities in choral and organ music, much of which is frequently performed across Oxford and London including at The London Festival of Contemporary Church Music.

Lucinda is also a trumpeter, guitarist and soprano. They frequently write for their own instruments and play their own music. They have a particular interest in composing and performing experimental music on trumpet since much previous experimentation on trumpet has been quite simplistic and limited. Being both a trumpet player and composer, they are in an ideal position to write this kind of music for example their ‘Sixteen Sounds of Comic Birds’ for solo trumpet which they recently premiered in Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford. As a trumpeter, they are currently researching bird-related music written for trumpet as a solo instrument. Although there seems to be only a sadly small number of pieces fitting this description, Lucinda has created a growing compilation of all relevant works which they intend to add to with their own compositions.
