Acoustic
Songs my Mother Taught Me - A song cycle for alto and baritone voice, violoncello, pedal harp and marimba. Approx. 20 minutes. It still only exists as a MIDI recording :( so I am currently sourcing performers for a recording, please contact me if interested!
Twelve Bulls - Written for string quartet and electronic delay, this piece draws heavily from flamenco rhythms. I developed a system based upon a standard 12 beat Soleá accent pattern, and then, treating it like a modal scale, shifted its starting position which created a new rhythmic "mode" I could explore. Approx. 10 minutes.
Ondine's Curse - In this piece I used viola, a looping pedal, and prepared guitar to create aleatoric musical vignettes. The piece is based upon the titular folk tale, where the mentioned curse is that of endless, deliberate breathing; where inattention means breathless and sleep means death. This idea is explored in the whispered looping of the viola paired against the strange musical vignettes that drift in as our cursed is slipping into dreamscape, to an inevitable death. Approx. 5 - 10 minutes.
Electronic
Little Busters - A 3 part song cycle featuring vocals by Isabella Fioravanti, piano by Jackson Traversa and electronics. The piece ties together a wide range of influences, ranging from Georgian chant to noise rock; this was an attempt to create a colourful, multifaceted piece centred around a life changed by war. Approx. 11 minutes.
Zodiac Portraits - A series of three sonic portraits, using a microtonal scale based upon the person's natal charts. I developed a tuning system based on the number of days a year each zodiac constellation is in sun for, and then used that as a basis to create a scale unique to each individual natal chart. This is a concept I am eager to return to, and will likely be creating more portraits in the future! Approx. 5 minutes.
