Patterns of Darkness, a short orchestral score.  
Inspired by the Fibonacci Series, the piece builds in segments, each heralded by the tubular bell on the note A.
Two harmonic fields compete for dominance, the harmonic series on A, and an F-major chord.  

Chaos?  In a word.

Patterns Of Darkness

Something a little different, an experiment with synths and more effects within the computer.

One does not simply write music without injecting some of ones-self into said music - the flute was me.  Couldn't resist.  Guilty as charged :-)

Compositions

Last Days

Dreamland is a short piece for flute and piano based loosely on the idea of tensions bubbling under the surface of any given individual.

Outbreaks of complexity and force are heard periodically through the piece, before returning to a naturally subdued and forward-moving nature.

ACE Brass plays 'The Ringmaster Is Dead' from the 'Automata Inferna' suite - a quick circus march with far too many animal references.
With thanks to the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra and the members of ACE Brass, along with the Auckland University School of Music.

The Ringmaster Is Dead

Selene, the Moon.  Harbinger of madness, werewolves, crazies, lunatics.

Thanks to the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra for workshopping and recording this!

Rest - requiem et lux

Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua.  Grant them eternal rest, and perpetual light, O Lord.

A bit of an experiment...

Rest

Western

Having a go at making something a bit pretty :)

Flutter

2017 strings meet vintage styles!  More incidental music, this time of the silent-film variety.

1950's Incidental Music

A small song.  Originally for solo singer and piano - this is the version without the singer.

Dream of a Little Bird

A battle rages in the distance.  The sounds of distant drumming come ever closer.  Who will take Lochnagar?
