TOCSIN
2025
'Tocsin: an alarm bell or signal.'
Throughout history, bells have been used in times of war to sound alarms that evoke defiance and hope, as well as being melted to create weapons. Capable of both beauty and destruction, they hold a mirror to ourselves. This inspired a series of compositions, all of which use bells as a sound source and a compositional method I call 'deep phasing', which extends the traditional tape phasing developed by Steve Reich in the 1960s.
THE CODE
2024
The Code explores the landscape of a sound world generated from a simple and custom algorithm. The music is the sum of hundreds of elemental sine waves — the simplest sound possible that only a machine can produce. Intentionally escapist, it evokes the exoticism of deep space and its unknown worlds, with the music travelling through ‘spaces’ of differing note densities and durations.
GEOMETRIC
2018
Geometric is an urban influenced classical music project inspired by India. The album combines Indian rhythm and Western harmony, with unique compositions formed by four geometric shapes: a trapezium, pyramid, circle, and crescent. Performed on the handpan, cello, and percussion, the compositions range from intense and intricate, to slowly evolving and meditative.
