The Method (stereo mix)

For organ+fixed media electronics. Written for Michael Bonaventure in 2012, revised in 2015, performed here by the composer. Explores high frequencies, deep space, residual sounds.

Remains (2015)

Just used an electric cello and a Boss GT10 effects board. No loops, no delay, no feedback, no post-production... just live effects (reverb, distortion), foot pedal, and lots of bow control.

Originally written for the London Sinfonietta and performed by Tim Gill at Southbank Centre on 28th March 2015; this version was recorded with me playing the electric cello.

'Black Lake and EXIT' - (electric cello)

Taken in a live concert. Playing: Ruud Zielhorst & Emiel Janssen.

Trembling time - earlier version (april 2010 KvBzaal) (excerpt from middle-end)

I am a composer and performer, originally from Montana, in the United States.

I love exploring the labyrinths of layered pulse streams and interference patterns; the intimacy of a melody; the power of language and sound. I write music for both acoustic and electronic instruments and ensembles. I have recently been featured in the ZEPPELIN Festival (Barcelona and Zaragoza), Adelaide Festival (AUS), Festival Neue Musik (Lüneburg), Insomnia Festival (Tromsø), KoMA ’6 Festival (Belgrade), as well as the Gaudeamus Music Week (Amsterdam & Utrecht), and the November Music Festival (Den Bosch).

As of 2012 I have been living and working in the wilds of North East England.
