A series of tracks composed for my honours year at the University of Western Sydney. All of these pieces explore the idea of states of 'in between' using looping, textural and timbral approaches and the use of quartal harmony to create a contemplative and mesmerising exploration of sound. These tracks have been composed and recorded entirely on an iPad, using the Loopy HD app - http://loopyapp.com/. You can now purchase the final album Sounds of In-Between at https://immed8.bandcamp.com/releases

Sounds Of In-Between

The 10th track from the album 'Sounds Of In-Between' and the first piece recorded for the project.

Monsoon (BbFCG) mix 10.6.14

The 11th and penultimate track from 'Sounds Of In-Between', yet the first recorded. The 'chattering' sounds at the beginning, generated by using the Vio app feeding back on itself through the iPad mic, was beginning to capture the 'in-between' quality I was looking for. Plenty of backwards guitar harmonics and ambient piano lends this track a languid, peaceful feel, hence the title.

Hawaii (FCGD) mix 27.5.14

Although the final track on 'Sounds Of In-Between', this piece was one of the first recorded for the album. This mix is slightly different to the final version, and to me has a feeling of ancient civilisations and dusty ruins, hence the title.

Mesopotamia (CGDA) mix 6.6.14

The first track from 'Sounds Of In-Between', an album investigating a 'vertical' approach to composition that negates a sense of time. All of these compositions are based on a quartal harmony approach, further enhancing a feeling of suspended time.

Morning Light (GDAE) mix 11.6.14

A preliminary mix of track 2 from the Sounds Of In-Between album. This was recently used in the final sequence of independent film 'The Last Babushka Doll' in 2017

An early mix of 'Remembered Voices' from Sounds of In-Between

Remembered Voices (BF#C#G#) 3.9.14

An electric guitar heavy mix of 'Transmission', track 6 from the album Sounds of In-Between

Transmission (F#C#G#D#) mix 3.9.14

One of the final tracks recorded for Sounds of In-Between, 'Schaeffer's Dream', featuring a spoken word piece from my son Gryffyn - track 8 on the album.

Schaeffer's Dream (AbEbBbF) mix 25.9.14

The final piece recorded for Sounds of In-Between, track 9 'Persistence Of Memory' reminded me of Dali's melting clocks and time slipping away.

Persistence Of Memory (EbBbFC) mix 26.9.14
