Videogames Suite

AnNua and Associates are creating Civilians’ as a stream of consciousness with scripted scenes moving between war, shopping, torture, displacement, lifestyle, surveillance and escapism. The work will have a dream like quality, at times verging on nightmare. In a sense, it is a requiem. To assist in creating this ‘dream’ we may use image, shadow and composition along with audio design and acted scenes. We are seeking to understand and to depict the changing nature of conflict over time and into the present during which the line between combatants and civilians has become increasingly blurred.

Composer Christopher Norby is working with violist Allyson Wuenschel in America on the score for Civilians while the Irish team continue research through reading and gathering media including audio and visual material.

From the Vaults:

Discarded ideas from various projects that I know I'm not going to finish.
These were the original sketches for the Project Hot Mess Game Demo.

FROM THE VAULTS: Project Hot Mess Discarded Demos

Lockdown time passing.

The original piano recording is a demo sketch for the second movt. of an RTE Vanbrugh String Quartet commission I wrote in 2011/12. This piece toured Ireland in 2012/13, and I still haven't heard it! It's a ghost piece.

It's from a different time and a different world. Here I've re imagined it playing a glockenspiel, bass and sampled viola and glass harmonica around it.
