Tonsure is an experimental piece written by Craig Henthorn, Timothy Lowe, Stephen Kershaw and Jolene Conley. the goal in the composition of this piece was to create a 20 minute piece of music which would be played at a venue for the public.
the venue we booked was rather unconventional, as it was a barbershop. our playing style was also unconventional, using instrumental techniques that aren't used often, such as rubbing glass bottles on guitar strings and included melodicas, harmonicas and effects pedels.. 
this was a really cool piece and we enjoyed writing it. this version is a studio rehearsal demo. too much reverb was used on this piece, but we liked it

Tonsure full 20 mins

as part of my end of year piece, this is one half of a dance of fire and water.
this piece is a tranquil piece and was inspired by one of my many long hours bored and staring at a candle.
i invite you to listen to this music whilst in a dark room with a candle, and allow the flickering flame to dance along to this music, casting shimmering shadows on the wall

a dance of fire

as part of my end of year piece, this is one half of a dance of fire and water.
this piece is a tranquil piece and i feel gives a good representation of water. during the installation for this piece, a light will shine underneath a bowl of water, creating an illuminaing light source. as with the ever changing movement of the water, the bowl should cast a shimmering dancing light display on the wall.
this piece was partially inspired by james lane, who's 1st year piece incorporated a similar visual element.
