Tjusad is a piece which focusses on challenging the creative parameters within contemporary music composition. It attempts to open up this exclusive genre to young musicians and improve accessibility for listeners who are unfamiliar with experimental works.

Performed by Wolf Pack, a London-based contemporary music collective.

Tjusad

For solo violin (shortened version).

'music for a house' is a piece written for an animated photograph (a GIF) by Samantha Harvey (see http://samantha-harvey.tumblr.com). GIFs consist of a number of frames displayed successively. Hence, this composition reflects their method of construction, whereby 3 musical frames, each ending with a long pause mark, are repeated indefinitely, just as the house is trapped in its own cycle.

For string quartet.

'Cows, Garlic and Vegetarianism' points cheekily to the troubles of flatulence, as discussed in the BBC article (see http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/mid/6288012.stm), surrounding the use of garlic in cow feed as a way of controlling the methane that is produced in their stomachs. 

The last couple of minutes is full of surprises!

Cows, Garlic and Vegetarianism

One of a cappella vocal trio JAMsharp's favourites!

The Bare Necessities

This is the rough version of a tragic song that I wrote for JAMsharp about fighting the regime in Iran...inspired by a 4od documentary!
