electroacoustic composer

Topographia (2008).

This work aims to explore various sonic landscapes and topologies through variations in implied proximities, densities and kinetic behaviour of the sound materials. Topographia is part of a project in which seven composers are creating a work using the same source material, this being a collection of 12 short samples from Denis Smalley’s Wind Chimes, released for use by the composer himself. Bearing in mind Smalley’s interest in the spatial attributes of electroacoustic music, it seemed appropriate to explore this particular area through the sonic material. In many respects Topographia is particularly influenced by Smalley’s Valley Flow, a work which greatly influenced my early compositions.

Performance of this work is restricted until all contrbutions to the project are complete.
