This is a recording from the SCM Open Day of Elizabeth Jigalin (piano), Jane Meney (piano), Jackson Bankovic (trombone) and Peter Smith (clarinet) performing my composition "Tangy".

Tangy

This is a recording of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music's Wind Symphony performing my arrangement of "Song of Purple Summer" from the musical 'Spring Awakening'. This is by FAR the largest ensemble I have ever written for and it was a great challenge, and I am very happy with the result.

Song Of Purple Summer

Performed by Peter Leung.
“Buffalo Bill” is a solo tenor saxophone piece that musically reenacts one of the final scenes from the film, “The Silence of the Lambs”. Throughout the composition, the saxophone will portray all sounds heard in the scene in which the killer, nicknamed ‘Buffalo Bill’, is identified and caught by Detective Clarice Starling. The piece incorporates a variety of extended techniques in order to effectively imitate the sounds from the scene, such as doors opening, screaming, and gun shots. This piece was my 'technical extreme' for second semester. I went WAY out of my comfort zone in composing this and I believe it paid off.

Buffalo Bill

A piece written in dedication to the life of my beautiful friend Joelle.

Can't Help Falling In Love
