A little arrangement I've put together for my lovely sister's wedding tomorrow! When I asked her what sound would she love more than anything to walk down the aisle to she admitted to "Marry Me" by Train.

So what brother/composer would I be if I didn't go away and re-arrange it for a string quartet to be played live as she walks down the aisle? A crap one, that's what.

Enjoy :)

Marry Me - Train (String Quartet Cover)

This is a String Quartet piece I have written for my sister and her new husband's wedding. It's a piece that they will be naming and once they do it will be theirs.
I wrote this piece with them in mind and my biggest wish is that when they ever hear this piece that they are reminded of the promise of happiness they have made to each other. I hope it takes them back to their special day every single time.

Ce n'est pas une chanson d'amour - String Quartet

This is a composition I've written for the Carillon. The bells of the carillon have a long delay and this is a piece trying to make sure the melodies don't clash as the piece progresses.

Mirror Lake is a piece about reflection. Every musical idea is explored once and then when the piece has a turning point in the middle where the waves begin to crash, the ripples are demonstrated by bringing back every melody in reverse order with little changes made to the register of the pitches to allow it to flow.

Mirror Lake - Piano Arrangement for Carillon

Just something I put together in my semester break to make sure I don't forget what I've learned and also so I don't go crazy staying away from music too long :P 
A little piece based on the simple imagery of walking through the clouds. Simple as that :)

Cloudwalking

This is a piece I've recently written to be included in my upcoming EP. I wrote this song out of the frustration of simple things like being cut off in traffic, pushed aside in the crowd or being ignored when asking for directions. More importantly, I wish to see a world in which people truly do treat others the way they want to be treated - or more rather, to live 'the way to live'.

A Way To Live

This is a solo cello piece I am currently working on. There will be more additions to this (electronic sounds to add ambience and atmosphere) as well as further variation of the piece leading towards a recapitulation to end with. 
The piece is about the being overwhelmed with wonder in day to day life - in a joyous and happy way.
This piece was created as a means to pursue understanding the cello better. It will be recorded and performed upon its completion.

Wonderment

My first ever electronic composition I am writing this semester. Still a work in progress. Needs to be completed in a month. Will be adding more into this piece. 
I could not write this piece without melody. I needed an instrument. I relied upon the Cello to ground me. A work in progress.

Electric Cellic - Revision 1

This is the second revision of my electronic piece I'm building towards end of semester for my course. I've added a lot of content and more rhythmic ideas. 

Electric Cellic - Revision 2

This piece is an electronic piece written for my composition degree. I tried to make the illusion of a Cello melody being transferred into an electrical signal and then shifted and reformed until it comes back into its own. My first electronic piece.
It is called "No.9" because it took 9 revisions to get to where it is :)

Electric Cellic No.9

"There’s no love without tears, there’s no happiness without sacrifice, and there’s no forever without goodbye."

Greenwind is a piece written for my 2nd year Composition as part of my degree. It explores the thoughts, feelings and emotions of being torn away from where you once called home as you try to find what home truly is. In four main stages it goes through Bewilderment, Longing, Contentment and Acceptance.
