The Rasas

This piece was written for Duo Windspiel as part of their Shore Project. It is scored for Chromatic Button Accordian and Sopranino Recorder, Soprano Recorder and Alto Recorder. 

The piece takes the Industrial revolution's use of water as a source of power and energy as inspiration as well as the modern abuse of water as a source of energy.
In it's final presentation it will be played in conjunction with a video/still image/text production developed by Monash University Journalism Students.

Run Down Stream

The second piece in a suite of four. The text is the second prelude from T.S. Eliot's 'Preludes' written between 1910-1911. Scored for piano and soprano and performed by Tim Verdon and Sherryn Kew. Not the greatest quality recording, but only intended as a demo!

Prelude II

The first piece in a suite of four. The text is the second prelude from T.S. Eliot's 'Preludes' written between 1910-1911. Scored for piano and soprano and performed by Tim Verdon and Sherryn Kew. Not the greatest quality recording, but only intended as a demo!

Prelude I

Was just playing around with my violin, wanted to see what sorts of frequencies I could pick up with my new microphone. All the sounds come from my violin. No I don't care if I'm playing out of tune ;)

Narcissus

A draft of a demo written for a production of The Woman In Black. This music is to be played as the play commences

"You asked for my story"

Another piece written for The Woman In Black. This was unused.

I Have Told It

This was a piece written as an overture of sorts for The Woman In Black. It wasn't used either.

It was 9:30 on Christmas Eve

A music box, found in the house, plays a lullaby for the house's former occupant; Nathaniel Drawblow (Humfrye). This short excerpt is featured in the play The Woman In Black
