‘A World
Without Culture
Is No Place To Be’

Modern and sleek, the Golden Jubilee Bridge inspired a contemporary sound. Villareal connects his work to the impressionists, similarly I've looked to Debussy, who's music perfectly represents water. Ambiguous tonality and ever changing movement, the music focuses on atmosphere and conveying mood and emotions.

‘Roman Ruins’
for Clarinet

Written for Andy Harper, LSO’s clarinettist, I wanted the music to celebrate the reawakening of the City of London as we begin to resume normal life after the pandemic. The making of the piece was very organic and collaborative and I constructed it from the bottom up like the tall buildings surrounding the ruins. I approached the writing in an open minded way, combining manipluated textures with the sound of the raw instrument.

Inspired by Tom Phillip’s Humanent, the score for the music was constructed using a victorian medical text about the respiritory system, which takes on a new meaning when carefully selecting words of interest.
