Superstrings [el. gtr & elec]

Toxic Colour

The work is contrasting aural places of intimacy and enclosure with expansive spaces and propagates through their interaction.  The title is borrowed from a painting by René Magritte, depicting two coffins seated in a mountainous landscape. The source materials for the work have been recorded with an 18 channel microphones arrange in a globe shape, encoded in Higher Order Ambisonics. The work was completed with the support of Musiques & Recherches at the Métamorhose d'Orphée studio during in the summer of 2024.

The title of the work reflects the sound synthesis and treatment techniques as well as the qualities of the sound  textures employed here. The events portrayed in this piece are fictitious, and any resemblance to real events, past, present, or future, is entirely coincidental but highly probable. The work was realised at the composer’s home studio in the fall of 2011.

Cymatics [cymbal]

Awarded a mention at Métamorphoses 2008

Epitaxy is the process of “the growth of crystals of one material on the crystal face of another material, such that the crystalline substrates of both materials have the same structural orientation.”  When the materials have similar lattice constants - i.e. the atoms of the crystal are the same distance from each other - the two materials match and uniform layers are formed: this is known as homoepitaxy. When the two materials have different lattice constants, the molecular structures of the substances involved in the process are ‘stretched’ to form links between the layers: this is known as heteroepitaxy. In this case the general scope of these scientific processes accurately reflects the compositional rationale of the piece.

Epitaxy (Stereo Reduction)

Finalist in SCRIME  2008 electroacoustic composition competition.

The material for the work was developed out of simple and short sounds that
accidentally occurred in the digital studio during previous work: (clicks, pops, digital
distortion et cetera). These sounds were transformed into more organic, gestural
material using mainly the GRM Classic plug-ins in a Pro-Tools environment. The
only field recording used in the piece is the sound of crickets, used here to
establish a nocturnal soundscape. This is in contrast with the otherwise rather
abstract sound world, which exhibits timbral characteristics perceptually related to
materials such as wood, metal, water and combinations of thereof.

Selection at Bourges Electroacoustic Music Competition 2008.

For James Mooney

Greek root poly, meaning "many", and choros meaning "room" or "space".

! Warning ! You should be fairly well acquainted with the convex uniform polyhedra and their symmetry groups, and somewhat well acquainted with the six convex regular polytopes in four-dimensional space and their symmetry groups, if this material is to make any sense to you.

The work was composed during a four week residency at the surround sound studios of the Culture Lab, Newcastle University. Many thanks to everyone at the Culture Lab for their support during the making of Polychoron.
