The Constituency (chaos & horror)(2010 - 2020)
5 minutes, 22 seconds - Fixed media electronics
Jeffrey Cobbold (bass guitars w/ effects)
feat. Annamaria Chilimintris (violins)

The Constituency (chaos & horror) is an example of two stereo recordings of different duet performances overlapping as one. This conjoined instrumental recording creates a sensation of a quartet of instrumentalists performing together (two violins and two electric bass guitars with effects). With all instruments performed in the key of d minor/F Major, the two overlapped recordings create a blend of cohesive and randomized harmonic, melodic, and event-based sonics throughout its duration. As a foundational instrument the electric bass guitar brings forth a soundscape of grooves affected by time-based and tonal effects presenting an experimental sonic background.  As a featured instrument the violin leverages an array of techniques including tremolo, pizzicato, harmonics and ponticello. The work's title is a reference to social and political groups that engage in conflict with one another based on identity or their pursuit of agency in the world.

Stephen Cornford & Ben Gwilliam - on taking things apart (excerpt)

EYWA3 (Eywa Tree) is a world music project combining psychodelics and modern electronics with traditional ethnic music from all around the world.

Eywa is a representation of the Tree of Life - one of the pivotal cultural archetypes of the humankind. Many books of various genres, many movies, and thousands of pictures had been inspired by it. Our project is the reflection and revival of this concept from the point of music.
