Wanted to play around with 3 chords, time sig. changes and blues-diminished (half-whole) harmony, so I wrote this.

Thoth

I wrote this for a composition competition and won a pair of headphones. Had to be minimal ideas with lots of variations and between 6 and 10 minutes long. Decided to use African percussion and the title of the song (as well as the general theme) is about the formation/founding of Eritrea.

They Made Them United

Original tune in 5/4 based around a whole bunch of cyclic 5 ideas. Intended it to be played by my trio (guitar, bass, drums) but decided to arrange it for flute, cello, piano, taiko and tam tam.
