In 2022 I was involved in a couple of cool projects with Music colleagues at Southampton. The first was ‘Exquisite Corpse of AI (Consequences)’ which features music by Drew Crawford, Bella Barlow, Brona Martin and me. This video is the whole piece, but kicks in from near the end of Brona’s part leading into my ensemble contribution Phat Feet.
The Triple Helix Music Project was a collaboration with students and staff from across the Department, led by my friend and amazing colleague Drew Crawford, which responded to the Triplex Helix of the University of Southampton strategy…
I had a fantastic week last week taking part in the Development week of the Cohan Collective. I was collaborating with choreographer Josh Ben-Tovim and composer Hollie Harding, creating a new 15-minute piece ‘Enemy of the Stars’. Looking forward to seeing how the project develops…
In 2011 David Crown, conductor of the Reading Phoenix Choir, commissioned me to do an arrangement for choir. I had free reign to chose what I wanted to do and set about arranging one of my favourite Debussy Piano Preludes, Des pas sur la neige. The choir have since sung the arrangement in several concerts, recorded it and released it on their label. You can read a review of one of the concerts here, buy their CD from Amazon/iTunes or listen on Spotify:
I would be keen to hear from any other choirs interested in performing the work in the future.
