My most recent piece – Between Pictures – has been selected for the ICMC 2025, in Boston. It is always really nice when a new piece is accepted for something – particularly a very significant conference/festival such as the International Computer Music Conference.
The piece received its premiere at Ignite the Arts festival, Canada 2025, and was composed to explore relationships between acousmatic music and film sound, as per the programme notes, below:
I am never quite sure what to think when listeners describe my music using the term ‘filmic’. Are they referring to a certain sense of space that is, perhaps, similar in both electroacoustic music and film..? Or perhaps it is a sense of dramaturgy or narrative that they find similar..? I am not sure. But whatever the case, my very first piece was described as ‘filmic’, and such comparisons continue to this day. Between Pictures is the first of my pieces that is intentionally filmic. It was my attempt to think through filmic connections in my music, and electroacoustic music more generally. It was also an opportunity for me to explore certain sounds that I previously recorded and composed for film but, sadly, never used.
