@brittenpearsarts Young Artist Composition and Performance Course 26-27

I had an amazing and inspiring time at Snape Maltings writing for these incredible musicians and learning from the course tutors and other composers🎼

Looking forward to Aldeburgh Festival next summer for the performance of our pieces plus other great music! ✨ by @leo.gatty

she's a brick and i'm drowning slowly - for mixed chamber ensemble

this is the final section of a piece I wrote in spring, inspired by the Ben Folds Five song 'Brick'. I tried to create a sense of melancholy and intimacy, something that felt both beautiful but also tragic.

Massive thanks to the performers:

@esterstalbergviolin @chloe.crayons @josiewakefield_ @nalnichen @mateuscolsouza @tilde_gardemar @elinorjmason @sandyymarcotte

and to @aaronhnahum for conducting

Thank you to @philcashian and Gareth Moorcraft for organizing the project.

Tutorial - for modular synthesizer, bass clarinet and electronics.

Modular synthesizer - @aaronhnahum
Bass Clarinet - @heather_roche
Electronics - @andreabalencybearn

This piece was inspired by video game tutorials. I was interested in how rules and controls are introduced in real time, forcing players to adapt. In Tutorial, pre-recorded instructions are randomized and sent to the performers' headphones, encouraging spontaneity and communication.

It was a privilege to work with the incredibly inspiring ADW trio. Massive thanks to them and to the @royalacademyofmusic for facilitating this project 🎧
