Written for my Advanced Composition portfolio at King's College London, this vocal piece interprets the first few lines of George Herbert's (1593-1632) poem 'Love Bade Me Welcome', in a colourful flow of shimmering vocal lines and velvety instrumental passages. Set with clarinet, bass clarinet, two violas, cello and a harmonica in C (played by myself), the two soprano parts of the Guest (sung by Victoria Mulley) and Love (sung by Mimi Doulton) intertwine and interrupt in a collage of words and sounds that describe the beauty and personal poignancy I saw in the poem. The rest is just the music simply taking flight from these ideas and creating a life for its own.

Recorded by Dave Prosser.

The words used are taken from poems written by Manchester-bsaed poet Jamie Lee, written for use in this piece.

This piece explores the idea of belonging on a universal scale, specifically provoking emotions related to the question: 'Where do we as humans fit in the grand scheme of things?'. This piece has been created to tell a story and spark ideas, aimed at all audiences, but especially with a younger audience in mind.

Music composed for Chior and Tape by Benoît André, between 2019-2021

Words written by Jamie Lee in Autumn, 2019

Choral music workshopped with Somnium Chamber Choir, 2019-2020

First recording sung by Benoît André (T2, B1), Hugh Beckwith (T1, B2), Grace Gammell (S2, A2) and Sarah Keirle (S1, A1) in Autumn 2020

Cosmic Signature

Wanderers In The Skies

'By Human Design' uses recordings almost explicitly from my two favourite inventions: the bicycle and the typewriter. Using the bell sound as a pivotal common sonic object between both the bicycle and the typewriter, this piece seeks to unravel these two feats of mechanical engineering by manipulating their respective sounds to the extreme. As the piece progresses, I begin to employ sounds from their respective successors - the motorcycle and the fax machine/basic computer. These sounds are subtly employed to add hints of rapid technological invention, and human advancement.

Composed in Spring 2021
