Incident in Catalonia is informed by Trevor Wishart's work Encounters in the Republic of Heaven. Similar to Wishart, the work explores the sonic affordances inherent in the human voice, and accentuates any eccentricities and particular linguistics of regional accents. The piece was composed as a final year project, and in conjunction with a paper titled 'Narrative Modes in Microsound Composition'

Jason taming the bulls of Aeetes

Celeste (Revisited)

An improvisation using the Mute synth and the Rumble of Ancient Times synth as a rebuke to the commercial Forbidden Fruit Festival that's been playing all weekend outside my front door. So, If anything, it's anticapitalist electronic stuff

Compulsory Vegetables No.1

An exploration of textural and timbral sonic qualities of glass. All sounds were constructed using three samples (flicking of a wine glass, blowing on the opening of a wine bottle, and rubbing the bottom ridges of a wine bottle).

Glassworks

This work pays homage to Jonty Harrison's piece Klang, and has similar timbral and textural elements to Harrison's piece.

Kling

This piece was composed as part of a second year under graduate project. The work is essentially a sound walk which explores sonic relationships between real-world recorded sounds and electromagnetic frequencies. Rhythmic, textural, and timbral transformations which evolve from one environment to the next, are evident throughout the work.

This piece examines the sonic characteristics of a faulty television set, and other malfunctioning technology.
