Isolation

The prototype recording of my interpretation of Cat Hope's work 'Her Pockets Full of Inertia'. This was made using a video score that I embedded - the score comes with an electronics track, made up by Cat herself and flautist Lamorna Nightingale. I am planning to make a second recording of the work, made up of my own recordings of the backing track. But for now, this is what we have. This is the second installment of the 'Living Lights' project [2020-]

This was recorded at the Ian Potter Southbank Centre, University of Melbourne - Melbourne Conservatorium, March 2020.

Cat Hope - Her Pockets Full Of Inertia

The third work of the Living Lights project, entitled 'Floating in Space', is by wonderful composer Keyna Wilkins. Known for her uniquely modal and illustrious improvisation work as a flautist herself, I was able to take a leaf out of the composer's book in interpreting this work. 
Mainly driven from the nebulae soundscape, I was able to use Keyna's notated music to form a improvised interpretation - at the composer's discretion - of the work, respecting in turn the trajectory of the work. The work progresses through a variety of octaves and with ornamental multiphonics and embellishments, the work came to life in a suspended, arresting collage of these envisaged nebulae - clouds of stars that give off an iridescent river of hues.
