Hi everyone,

What's the difference ?

Hi everyone,
Welcome to the second edition of 'Re-discover My Soundworld' with 'Never Too Late', live version. I love performing this piece and I'm so glad to share it with you now! Please let me know what you think and thank you so much for the positive answers I got from the previous 'Witches Song'. Hope this one won't disappoint! 
Share the love!

Never Too Late

Never Too Late - Live loop version

Welcome back! 
Discover now 'Once Upon A Friday Night', the fifth edition of Re-discover My Soundworld. 
This was the first time I wrote for a jazz band. During this composition exercise, I wanted to explore the instruments' extended techniques and connect jazz, an ever-expanding music genre, to my pop-rock background. 
Hope you enjoy and continue to spread the love! 
BLUEM out ;)

Once Upon A Friday Night

Hey guys, 
As usual, I am late but this is the last piece of this small serie of songs that I believe define me. #9 edition of 'Re-discover my Soundworld'
This last one is extremely close to my heart. One of my close friend came out to me as trans a couple of years back and although I couldn't relate completely to what she was telling me, I understood where she was coming from. Feeling different is not weird. It is not unusual. But you also don't decide to be different. You just are. 
I hope you enjoy this tune and thank you for the lovely comments I got from all of you. It feels great to finally release this music and I hope you enjoyed listening to it. 
Love is such a strong word with so many meanings. However you feel it, for yourself or for others, you got to do your best to keep it, because it is not constant. Love, the real one, is so rare! But sometimes you are too dumb to realise you found it. 

Spread the love! 
BLUEM out ;)

Labelling

Premiered by Trinity Laban String Ensemble on March 6th 2020 at Blackheath Halls, London. 

In April 2019, Extinction Rebellion blocked off Waterloo bridge, one of the busiest bridge in London. In just a few minutes, this space went from loud and chaotic to peaceful. A space for the people.

Thank you to Trinity Laban String Ensemble and Nic Pendlebury for trusting me and commissioning me. I'm so proud to have worked with such amazing musicians. 
Thank you to Sam Hayden for his council and support. This definitely was a headful. 
A huge thanks to Josie Owen for her amazing artwork. Please do check her out (https://www.instagram.com/josie_nicole_owen/).
This is more of a general thank you to Extinction Rebellion and people fighting to defend our planet everyday. This piece is for you. Thank you for everything you do and let's keep going.

The Other Side Isn't Greener

Written for the Rude Health New Music festival and premiered in October 2019.
How Many Different Squares Can you Make? is a collaboration with the filmmaker and all talented Kim Chi Le. The piece is taking inspiration from the works of Cage and Cunningham in finding connection in independent works.

Magdalena Joyce on clarinet

How Many Different Squares Can You Make? (Live)

**Beware: Screaming Women**

Submitted as part of the Digital Musicianship couse. 
Written April 2020.

Beautiful Hell In The Neighborhood

This piece attempts to explore the challenges of climate change and the different opinions regarding that issue. While the climate emergency is being debated more than acted upon, the piece is purposely ambiguous in the direction it is going to. Politicians may hear us, but they do not listen, and the cut-up sentences illustrate this notion of shaped narrative and directed listening.

The piece is composed of three sources:
A collection of interviews from people answering these three questions:
1. How would you define your own happiness?
2. What do you understand of the word extinction and how does it
make you feel?
3. Do you think your mood is influenced by your environment and
the state of that environment? How?

A compilation of recordings from politicians and leaders at a climate protest on May 1st, 2019, the day the UK Parliament declared a climate emergency.

Thank you to Hannah Wallace, Moses Ward, Isaac Griffiths, Benji Forster, Ben McGettigan, Maya Giulivi and Patrick Murer for being part of this piece.

Love &  Rage xxx

Words are cheaper than actions (but they are a beginning)

I am extremely excited to share this piece to the world!

LOVE/RAGE (kind regards) portrays a crowd of people, chattering away, waiting for something to happen. Then suddenly a voice, louder than everyone else, brings everyone into an orchestrated silence. 
The phrase 'Love and Rage' is inspired by Extinction Rebellion. I hope to dedicate this piece to all the women, men, non-binary, young adults and children fighting to defend our precious planet. 

**Due to the pandemic, the piece could not be performed and recorded. This is a midi version. Still hope you enjoy**

LOVE/RAGE (kind regards)

Stop Fooling Me explores the frustration of stability as the piano is anchored in a G minor seventh chord throughout the piece. Its interest lies in the experience of the audience, pianist and the shared moment as these repetitions try to evolve somewhere else but never really succeed.

Written for the John Halford Competition in 2019. 

Thanks to: 
Elle Georgiades for her beautiful playing and collaboration. 
Patrick Murer for his beautiful artwork.

Stop Fooling Me

'Honey, are you coming?' is composed exclusively of women sounds from advertisement made between the 1950's and present day. It aims at putting forward the sexualisation of women in popular media.

Advertisement offers a small window into the period it was created. While the role and rights of women have drastically changed over the last 70 years, codes are still present and drawn on in television ads. Women are often shamed for being sexually liberated while continuously objectified by the male gaze in popular culture. The piece attempts to point out the continuous sexualisation of women in advertisement, so present that people might not notice it anymore.

Thank you to Rebecca Morée Galian (@rebeccamoregalian)for her amazing artwork. 

Hope you enjoy!

Honey, are you coming?

Massive thank you to Tatjana Sandhöfer for performing this piece and being a close collaborator. 
Shoutout to @ananya.deshpande for her beautiful artwork. 

The piece is inspired from a Greek mythology story. It retraces the creation of the Meliae, dryads of the ash tree, born out of the blood drops that fell on Gaia (Earth) from the castrated testicles of Uranus (Sky) cut by Cronus, a titan and son of Gaia and Uranus.
Uranus did not like any of his children and hid them somewhere in Gaia’s womb causing her great pain. She devised a plan to free herself of this pain and asked her children, the Titans, to execute it. Cronus was the only one who answered positively and was given a sickle to castrate his father. He became the ruler of all Gods and men soon after.
