This is a soundscape I put together in 2015, and have been sitting on for a while- I guess it's time to get it out there!

I aimed for quite a washy, claustrophobic sound, in which the sound of a crowded place could be taken on both both at face value and with a more warped sound. The sounds all came from a trip to an I

Initially the goal was to create an intense, overbearing sound which gave the listener an experience of sensory overload. Part of this plan was to record it in a way in which it planted the listener into a space and overloaded them.

As I worked on it, I started to take a more compositional approach, and to make sense of my hundred or so samples, I drew a graphic score, and worked to the visual cues. The colours are descriptive of the texture of the sound, and the up/down is for left/right balance of the sound in headphones etc.

This is an export of the guitar part I composed for the Spaces and Places Module.

This is a part of the full piece, which was played live with effects, samples and a feedback loop in a four-speaker sound environment at the Ferens Gallery, Hull on the 17th of May 2017.

This is a live performance of a piece called Tubes, which I performed as part of Hull University's Dark Room event last year at Fruit.

I used a range of old and new equipment to play it, and I had the mission of pushing old technology such as a Roland drum machine (DR-5) well past what it was intended for. I also used a Faderfox to manipulate many effects and mix the sound, but the main addition to piece came from my angry pink Thereminator from Error Effects- it also added something visual as waving a hand over it created various sounds. It was great fun, and I look forward to uploading more music in the future, as well as a recording of Tubes. Thank you for watching!

Testing the match card system! 😃 Some wrestlers were determined to hog the limelight, but they all made it to the ring at least! 😃 Names are currently randomly generated until I get to that.

This is pure testing - graphics are basically non-existant of course! 😃
