Duration: 3 min 34 s
Description: A setting of William Blake's famous poem The Tyger performed by Cambridge Holiday Orchestra Choir and Maurice Hodges in West Road Concert Hall, Cambridge.

A more extended piano improvisation. I cut off the first minute as I was still warming up on the piano... (no-one will notice :D)..

Tell me what you think! And apologies for faltering on the Bb7 chord in the first couple minutes :/ Have a great easter everyone!

A Quiet Place [Cello Cover]

Performed by Ensemble Amorpha and Tangent. Premiered as part of Emulsion at The Vortex, 19.05.12 
Review from the Cheltenham Festival 2015: "But highlight of the evening was Luke Styles‘ highly atmospheric Chasing the Nose, doleful despite a persistent funked-up tribal groove; focussed on a wonderfully lyrical bass clarinet line, it expanded into a feisty duet with saxophone at its conclusion; exhilarating and immersive stuff." 5:4 http://5against4.com/tag/luke-styles/

Chasing The Nose

A setting of William Blake's famous poem The Tyger performed by Cambridge Holiday Orchestra Choir and Maurice Hodges in West Road Concert Hall, Cambridge.
