Luciform- Mario Diaz de Leon

Recording of Ian Clarke's Great Train Race; The flute as you don't usually hear it! Recorded at Holy Trinity Church, Casterton, UK. 

The Great Train Race

Performed during the Grolloo Flute session 2016 this is an incredible composition by a strong contemporary Japanese composer. It is an exercise in space, time, and utilises a musical tradition thousands of years old to create a sound that to us is very 'contemporary'.

Vertical Song 1- Toshio Hosokawa

Inspired by Japanese Gagaku and 20th century European Avant Garde, In the snow, something stirs is an exercise in space, and tension. The two instruments are written in free time, for the most part, opening the piece up to interpretation in a rhythmic sense whilst being controlled by timbral demands. 
Recorded in workshop at Royal Holloway, University of London.

In the snow, something stirs- for Bass Clarinet and Viola

Unconquered Night imagines a desolate mountain village on the night of the winter solstice and is in 5 portraits:

I-Towards Dusk: The sun setting over a mountain forest
II- Nocturne: A graveyard bathed in moonlight, trees ebbing and flowing
III- Midnight: A ghostly church bell tolls in the desolate mountain town
IV- A landscape: Birds call out to each other in the fog
V- A gradual lightening of the sky, but the sun never rises

Performed in workshop in the Chapel at RHUL Dec.'17

Unconquered Night- A series of Portraits for Clarinet, Viola & Piano

Imagining an origami slowly unfolding, this piece is subtle and explores timbres within a soft sound space. 
Scored for Bb Trumpet, Bassoon, Viola, Cello, and prepared Piano and performed by in workshop at Royal Holloway.

As my crane unfolds- For mixed ensemble

Commisioned by Vote100 at Royal Holloway and premiered in March 2018, this piece explores the idea of multiple voices within a solo line; a melody and interruptions. 
Inspired by a speech given at the UN on the importance of access to clean water, it uses the number 3.5 in a variety of ways as every 3.5 seconds a child dies for reasons related to sanitation and lack of clean water.
