The etude was composed for Queensland Conservatorium Wind Orchestra reading session september 2017 conducted by Head of Ensembles Dr Peter Morris in collaboration with head of composition department at the Conservatorium, Dr Gerardo Dirie.

Etude for Wind Orchestra I (2017)

This piece happened after my late night improvisation, day before the my composition portfolio was due under pressure to get more material for submission. This composition roughly took roughly 3hrs for the whole process from idea to finished score. I haven't had a chance to get it played before 2018.

The story behind it would be a rooster and a chicken engaging in a funny dance, having conversations and arguing. The score suggests to play it with humour. Composed in 2016

Credits so Brooke Hitchmough (oboe) and Sasha Walker (Bassoon).

Dierimo Scherzo (Chicken dance)for oboe and bassoon(2016)

Credits to Kip Cleverley (trumpet), Ryan Humphrey (horn) and Jean Paul Cerdan (tuba). The recording took place at Basil Jones Recital Hall in 2018.

This piece has been my first finished piece at Queensland Conservatorium of Music in my first year. I explore relationship between three instruments, harmonic modulation, textures and forms such as canon. The compositional method is purely intuitive and not theoretically based which shapes this piece into a unique work.

Br-(kick)ass Trio. debut(2016)

Work-in-progress written for 21 brass instrument where I explore the sound, texture and effects of brass instruments. 

My apologies for the quality - the room was too small for ensemble of that size.

The piece consists of three parts - different expressions of the same shape - wave.
It has been sight-read by Queensland Conservatorium Brass Ensemble under conducting of Ben Marks.

D - Formation (2019)

This composition is dedicated to and reflecting on the climate issues human race is facing in 2019. After the heartbreaking reports and footages of the massive forest fires on all continents, temperature rise and the new scientific data released by IPCC that demonstrate the devastating consequences of fossil fuel usage, carbon release and overconsumption, I found it necessary to reflect on these problems within my professional capacity. The original speech is written by Greta Thunberg for presentation at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland in March 2019. 
This composition is written for my dear friend, flutist, composer, improviser climate activist and entrepreneur Phoebe Bognar (AUS)
