Meditation (Drone) I

Harmonic Peregrination was composed in 2011 and began as a sketchpad of sorts that explored the inner workings of the marimba sound. The melody, harmony and tonality of this piece interweaves and often sounds as though it does not modulate, although most of the time there are several keys being played at once. 
Within an overall ABA form, there are two sections: the first portrays a melody within different harmonic contexts that evolve around it. The second section explores greater tonal atmospheres with a trance-style influence that plays around with resonant harmonies in the wake of the progressing melodic lines before reforming the melody of the first section in a coda.
I hope you enjoy

Peninsula Sketches [MIDI]

Peninsula Sketches was composed for the 30th Anniversary of The Grainger Wind Symphony, and premiered at Made In Australia on March 5, 2016; conducted by Shane Walterfang. There is an introduction given by the compere, Roland Yeung, Principal Conductor and Artistic Director of The Grainger Wind Symphony. 
The piece expands from ideas from some of my previous works, and as the compere mentions, has no underlying narrative.

An aural transcription of Kenichiro Isoda's masterful soundtrack to SEGA's 1992 game for the Genesis, Bio-Hazard Battle - One of my favourites. This is not the exact same piece; I believe it is mostly unplayable, but I wanted to post this version for seven winds as a fan. I intend to reorchestrate it into a playable version.
