Women of Troy is an album of music written for the recent production of the Euripides play by the same name.

This production was set in 1998 Nevada, and inspired by west coast hiphop music of the period.

This music was used to underscore much of the play along side work by my colleague.

Jupiter, King of the Gods.  

The Ides, the point of full moon, of any month was the most important to Jupiter and so too is he joined in celestial harmony by many of his children and lovers. The Planet itself was assoicated with the art of Geometry by Dante Alighieri; in Chinese Astrology Jupiter is ruled by the element wood, being patient and hard working; in Indian Astrology Jupiter is known as Guru or the 'great teacher'. These depictions of jupiter as patient or inteligent are prevelent in many of the stories associated with the Women which became part of his life, for however brief a moment.  

These three of Jupiter's Moons have been chosen as they have some of the slowest orbits of the planet.

Kore

Abiophonia (In the absence of biophony) is an exploration of the idea that natural sounds are being driven from our lives through the overstimulation of our hearing. 

The anthropophony, which is any sounds made by humans or their creations, make up most of our auditory experiences and now dominates most soundscapes. 

Take the time to reflect on what you can hear. 

This work is divided into three movements, three different explorations of contemporary soundscapes. The first ”Reveille” is dominated by a growth of noise and chaos; a wakeup call from the city. The second ”Meridian” explores and isolates moments in a soundscape captured just outside Royal Birmingham Conservatoire in October 2022. The third ”eve” explores a pre-nocturnal experience of the soundscape as the final church bells toll for the day.

In Dante’s Inferno, the wrathful are condemned to wage battle upon the River Styx, an endless struggle of rage and violence. Yet in 11:34, this conflict is not a furious storm but a frozen moment in time. The movement unfolds slowly, as though the weight of anger has thickened the air itself, suspending the fight in an eternal, suffocating stillness.

The title 11:34 emerged from a fleeting yet uncanny reflection: a phone screen mirrored in glass, its digits reversing to spell HELL. This distorted image, an abstraction of something familiar, yet made unsettling, mirrors the music itself. Anger does not erupt; it lingers, festers, and stretches across time. Fragments of motion appear and decay, ghostly remnants of violence that can never be resolved.

Here, wrath is not an explosion but a stasis.
