A composer in many media and technologist, early instrumental compositions include Only Connect (1988), for orchestra, recorded by the BBC Symphony Orchestra and broadcast on BBC Radio 3's Music in our Time, In Principio (1989) written while Ralph Vaughan Williams Trust Composer-in-Residence and performed by the BBC Singers at the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival and Three Pieces for Two Pianos (1992).

In recent years Richard Hoadley has focused on the role of technology in musical composition and performance. This includes the implementation of physical interfaces along with algorithmic software to generate original compositions. He has developed a number of devices including the Digiphone (2011-2014), the Gaggle (2009) and the Metapiano (2011): bespoke systems designed to investigate and facilitate physical interactions with musically expressive algorithms for installations, performances (including dance) and therapeutic environments. These interfaces and others have been used creatively in performances such as Triggered (2009-2012). In compositions such as Calder's Violin he has developed methods for the live presentation of algorithmically generated notation, an approach he has developed further in pieces such as The Fluxus Tree (2012-13), Three Streams (2013), Quantum Canticorum (2013-2014), Semaphore (2014) and Choreograms (2016) in which the movement of dancers generates music notation which is in turn performed live by an instrumentalist. In the last four of these pieces he has acquired movement data using the Kinect depth camera.

Current projects include the composition of an extended choral work, Unthinking Things, for 16 voice choir, electronics and live, dynamic notation, based on texts by Bishop George Berkeley. He is also working on commissions involving the 'translation' of text and phonemes into musical ideas and gestures and the development of music and text compositions enacted by members of the audience moving through the performance space itself.

The Touching Sound project investigated the use of these technologies in therapeutic environments.

Ways of Making People Move investigates musical representation in composition and automatic scoring.

He primarily works with SuperCollider software and Arduino, Mbed and Kinect hardware where necessary.

He has written, published and presented about music throughout the world. A full list can be found below. He is currently working on commissions for the St Augustine's Singers, the Cambridge Sinfonia and is involved in a number of research projects investigating methods of dynamic musical communication. In 2018 he left academic work to work full-time as a freelance composer.
