His discography includes the 1999 debut album Full Moon Fantasy and works such as "Myth of the Cave" and "Passions and Prayers – Sextet in Homage to Jerusalem". After moving to Australia in 2007, he earned a PhD from Monash University. His achievements include the 2019 Sidney Myer Creative Fellowship and the 2021 Azrieli Prize for Jewish Music.
