“Streaming” presents a serene array of pools, each containing suspended quantities of crystalline particles. Global tempo composites equate to relative fluid motion, influencing local activity, while arrangement is held in stasis”.

Composers’ Note:
Whilst streaming is full of cross references, development and variants of its material held together by a fabric of rhythmic units permeating
the work as a whole, it was concieved and should be performed as a stream of consiousness; a single, uninterrupted flow of ideas constantly
in a state of flux and regeneration; detailed, colourful and frequetly energetic and explosive.

Marc Yeats

“Today, received “Streaming” for Kingma System quartertone alto flute by Marc Yeats. A massive 20< minute energy field. What a terrifying talent this man has. Effortless. Unreal.

Such a distinct honor.”

Carlton Vickers

I'm in a relationship with sound. It's a creative one : composition, improvisation, performance, computer arts and so on. I'm involved in projects such as writing scores for professional and amateur ensembles, large orchestral scores, instrumental and mixed media scores, improvisation (guitar, laptop, voice, objects, vj) and interactive sound devices and installation. This Soundcloud page showcases mainly my work as a composer.
