COMPOSITION

This page contains examples of my studio composition work. The earlier pieces were composed in the BEAST studios at the University of Birmingham and all others in my home studio in Birmingham. These works are intended for concert diffusion on a loudspeaker orchestra or acousmonium. Early works were composed in stereo but I have also begun composing in multichannel and ambisonic formats. Stereo reductions are provided here. Good quality speakers or headphones are recommended.

Stylistically the work is rooted in the musique concrète tradition and soundscape composition with some works sitting more firmly on one camp or the other. All works are created from my own field recordings and studio recordings of found objects. Some of these tracks may also be found on Soundcloud.

I also perform live laptop electronic music which draws on my studio practice and approach to material but in a live context. Abstract sonic manipulations sit alongside field recordings and, when the technology is available, I also spatialize the music over multiple speakers in real time. Examples of this work are available on the Performance page.
