Indoor Tree

An entry for the July/August 2025 Crow Hill composing challenge.

Semi-detatched

It’s August 4, 2025 and I’ve just spent a day or so hammering into the latest Composing Challenge for The Crow Hill Company. This time around the challenge involved using their latest addition to the Vaults series, “Bridge Guitar“, and any old pizzicato strings to build a day-time reality queue.

A Sketch of Reality (TCHC Bridge Strings Composing Challenge)

New worlds arent out there... They're within us waiting to be chartered through the art we create!! 

New Worlds is a string-led journey through space and self. An invitation to explore the galaxies we carry within. Scored entirely with Small String Gestures by The Crow Hill Company the piece leans into the emotional nuance and textural intimacy of this fantastic library. Each gesture feels human, fragile, and alive - mirroring the inner transformation that happens when we create.
