Memoriam

Memoriam - II

This piece is part of the 'War Drones' acoustic and soundscape piece. I have used Shepard tones and the human voice to create this piece.

War Drones

This is my composition for the Ransom Prize; a competition at the University of Western Australia. We were given a choice of two texts to write for soprano and string quartet. The text that I chose shares the title of this piece and was written by Joseph Von Eichendorff. I'd like to thank the performers for their hard work and wonderful playing.

In der Fremde - In a Foreign Land

This is a full version of 'War Drones'. The musical score is for 1 to 12 stringed instruments, in this case it is 2 violins. The players react to words in the soundscape and change techniques and pitch based on what words they choose to use. The violinists are Xavier Sealey and myself. Performed at the University of Western Australia Composers Concert.

War Drones - 2 Violins

This ambient piece is the first movement of the Dreamcatcher Suite. Originally written for solo piano, this piece explores simple harmonies alongside the release of tension and joy resolution.

Dreamcatcher Suite - I - Ret Xa

This work was premiered by an ensemble created from players in the West Australian Symphony Orchestra on the 10th of June (2014) at the ABC Studios in Perth, Western Australia. 

The work uses three base chords and explores the idea of abeyance (to be in a state of temporary inactivity or suspension. Tone and timbre are the primary driving forces behind this work.

I'd like to thank all those involved; the players of WASO as well as the staff of WASO, James Ledger and the ABC for supporting me throughout this fantastic experience. I'd also like to thank my family and friends who support me throughout my life.
