Guitar music

Sainsbury spent much of the 1990’s and 2000's raising a family, and writing for his own ensemble 'A Band Called Bouddi', which he directed from the guitar. One popular work The Mayfly, was a setting of a lecture by Dr David Suzuki. Suzuki was delighted with this, and was present for a performance at the UNSW Solar Energy Conference in 1994. This work was performed frequently during the 1990’s. He recorded a solo guitar CD Anima in 1988, and his Masters thesis was on guitar bi-tones. He has written extensively for guitar and always looks for opportunity to include guitar in ensemble contexts. 

Teaching

Sainsbury enjoys teaching music theory, songwriting and composition at the Eora College of Sydney Institute.
