Game Music Cue

 

The concept of this piece was to write for an imagined game cue, of which I envisaged a heroine set on a journey to save her love.

The recording session was done in short sections and then later pieced together. I composed 3 different themes, all with layers of woodwind, brass, and strings.

Thin Boundaries

I was very fortunate to have a new chamber piece of mine, ‘Thin Boundaries’ premiered in a concert last week. It was an incredible concert curated by my friend and fellow trumpeteer Allison Wright. An exceptional display of new music played by incredible young musicians.

RECORDING in BULGARIA

 

 

 

110 piece Orchestral Recording Session at Radio Bulgaria:

On May 21st & 22nd, as part of my Masters course at Pulse College we recorded 3 minute cues of our original music. We were given the option to conduct, so this was my first experience conducting an ensemble of this size.

An absolutely unforgettable experience.

Conducting to Click

In late March we had a recording session in Windmill Lane, Studio One where we recorded a scene conducting to click.

As part of the assignment we had to compose the work based only on the timing notes that had been written by a classmate, without being able to watch the actual scene.

I was given a dream scene from Shutter Island. Here is my re-scoring:

Conducting to Streamer

Recording session at Windmill Lane,  Studio 1- April 1st, 2016.

The task was to conduct to a streamer that had been inserted in to a scene of our choosing. The music needed to include 20th Century compositional techniques, written for a 25 piece string ensemble. I selected a scene from ‘A Beautiful Mind’.
