This piece was created using only the audio from a digital radio alarm clock. Therefore only 2 audio tracks were used, the radio being tuned and the alarm itself. These were then manipulated in Reaper to create a piece that incorporates approaches that include Musique Concrete, Minimalism, Fluxus and Extended Instrumentation. 

Created for an assignment that required the use of Restrictions/Constraints as a compositional tecchnique.

Canto Corale was composed for live performance. Created in Ableton Live, this take was close to the performance but as the manipulation of midi and audio tracks was improvised it was slightly different on the day. This experience made me realise how frickin awesome Live is and hopefully I will be incorporating it into some more of my compositions.

PS I had to up the BPM as I realised that my performance went for 4 mins instead of 2.5, thats why its so hyped up.

Canto Corale

Headache was created to explore different textures and timbres. I created the piece using field recordings of an excavator and South Bank train station plus a bassy rhythmic loop. At the time I was walking through this area 2 - 3 times a day and I wanted to explore the textures of these sound sources. This idea mixed with regular headaches at the time led to a desire to emulate this feeling through audio stimulation.
