Existence

stay home, stay safe... here's a track about isolation from the confines of my house to the comfort of yours :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
‘on hold’ is all about being able to cope with the terrors of the outside world while keeping the panic of our minds at bay. The window (as well as being a literal window) symbolises our exposure to the outside world in the form of the news and media. We can get so hooked to the TV that it sparks unnecessary fear and can cause adverse effects on our mental wellbeing, especially in times like this where all sorts of misinformation is being spread. The song also touches on the scale of this pandemic; the whole world has essentially come to stop. The world’s pause button has been pressed and our lives are now on hold...

This is a demo of my new piano piece. The Berserker Mazurka. As it is a demo, please accept some rough piano playing (and some odd pedalling in the first half), as it is only meant to give you an idea of what the piece sounds like, not to be a professional,  polished performance

The Berserker Mazurka (Demo)

Operation Lightfoot is an ongoing series of collaborations featuring guest songwriters and musicians.  The project's founder and artistic director is composer Luke Moore (soundcloud.com/lukemooremusic) .

In addition to several commissions to write new music, Operation Lightfoot are recording their debut album "Alignments" which features a range of artists from different genres.  With the emphasis as much on process - working outside a comfort zone - as the end result, each collaboration is an exciting and rewarding way of approaching songwriting.

Live performances regularly incorporate strings, brass and wind players alongside the regular band set up, blending music with a mixture of projections, visual artists, film makers, photographers and dancers, tailored to match each piece.
