Robbie Ellis made his name in New Zealand as a serious composer, including time as the University of Otago's Mozart Fellow - but his latest work shows he's just as adept at writing comedic tongue twisters matched with pretty much every musical genre you can think of.
He was a presenter on RNZ Concert and is now working at WFMT Chicago, but he came home to record his album Pumpkins with members of the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra.
