Name: Preludes (for piano) - I - "For Peter Nickol" [2021] *NEW RECORDING* by Mark Dowding
Duration: 1 min 12 s
Description: The first piece from my "Preludes (for piano)", which I wrote using 12-tone technique. This piece is dedicated to my former composition tutor, Mr. Peter Nickol. https://www.impulse-music.co.uk/peternickol/

though this does not sound like Bach, somehow it sounds like it follows a similar logic

I’m really liking the 12 tone technique here. To me it sounds psychedelic. The atonal geometry takes you to a different place

Locked away where they can do no harm
In a place that keeps your mind in calm
And they sit between the cracks that won’t heal
You’ve no choice but to decide how you will feel

Beautiful demons (arise, arise)
Beautiful demons (arise, arise)

Let the silence die and have no weight
The demons are you but not your fate
Don’t forget it’s you who has control
And the demons do not own your soul at all

Beautiful demons (arise, arise)
Beautiful demons (arise, arise)
Beautiful demons (arise, arise)
Beautiful demons (arise, arise)

I have a light to see in the dark
It leads the way and confidence sparks
You and your fight move into the light 
Embrace your past and you will rise fast

Arise Beautiful Demons

Sleep Two

How Water Flows Through The Landscape

Be Right Back

At The End of The Day

Love the Skin You're In

Love The Skin You're In By Ruby LaRue

Once upon a day
Came in my head a way 
To relieve the pain and
Take it out from here
.....
And I hear THE SCORE

Against The Tide

THE SCORE - Golden Age

“Mis-en-scène ( for woodwind quartet)", coming this August!*

I am a British composer, who has studied composition privately with British composer Peter Nickol (although I am largely self-taught). I have also studied piano (privately) with concert pianist Ekaterina Shetliffe. 
My music contains elements of impressionism, and musical modernism; I have also explored 12-tone composition.
For several years now, I have been developing my own composition technique, which focuses on the liminal area between stochastic and spectral music, which I intend to use in my future compositions.

Composers who have influenced me include Schumann, Chopin, Schoenberg, and Ligeti; however my formative musical inspiration is the music of Debussy.
