Echolocations Video
Video of Echolocations is now online. Proud of this work and to be able to collaborate with my awesome colleagues Drew Crawford, Gre and Pablo Galaz.
Entail Video
Video of Entail is now online. I created this new work with Will May. The work pays tribute to Philip Hoare’s writing on whales and the ocean, and is comprised of text taken from Hoare’s Leviathan, or The Whale.
Echolocations & Entail
Had a great time playing new music with friends and colleagues from the University of Southampton at Winchester Cathedral last week. I made a new piece with Will May and collaborated with Gre, Drew Crawford and Pablo Galaz on a new piece Echolocations. All played under the amazing whales created by Tessa Campbell. Thanks to Southampton Institute for Arts and Humanities and the Southampton Marine and Maritime Institute for organising.

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…
