String Quartet: The First Movement [Live recording]

A setting of the famous "Twinkle, twinkle" text :) I had no idea there were five verses before writing this piece!

Sung at the Gondwana Choirs Composers' School public workshop performance, January 2015, by the fabulous Gondwana Voices, conducted by Mark O'Leary.

Original poem, The Star, by Jane Taylor (1783–1824)
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are,
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.

When the blazing sun is set,
And the grass with dew is wet,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.

Then the traveler in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark,
He could not see where to go
If you did not twinkle so.

In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye
Till the sun is in the sky.

As your bright and tiny spark
Lights the traveler in the dark,
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

The Week That Was with Liz and Justine - OST (2015)

After working with kids for the past few years, I have absolutely fallen in love with their honest (and occasionally brutal) interpretations of the world around them. It is, after all, only from a child that you would hear the words: 'Why are you so fat?' And although potentially soul-destroying, I find it admirable that social expectation has not yet entered their stream of consciousness. It was this that I thought of instantly when reading the poem, 'Tree' by Australian poet Richard James Allen. The poem seems to simply be a child's quirky ramblings, until the last few lines where it becomes more of a serious comment about the world around us. 

This work was written for an Internal Workshop Performance at National Choral School (Gondwana Choirs).

On-Again, Off-Again - orchestra

Inspired by Horace Walpole’s Gothic canon The Castle of Otranto, Dismemberment explores the notion of fragmentation. Although microtonal inflections are scattered throughout the piece, one tone (a C#) is a present at every point within the work providing a sense of tonal gravity. Dismemberment plays on extreme contrasts between the quiet to wildly chaotic, hypnotic to ritualistic. Perhaps you’ll hear the eerie whispers of living portraiture and fleeting visions of a dismembered giant…
