In the past, I have performed/been involved in productions of Make More Sail,
The Magic Flute and Turn Of The Screw. I have won the Brighton Strings Trophy and Christ's
Hospital Strings Trophy and have performed on tour with the Brighton Youth Orchestra and with St.
Peter's Church Choir (where I attained my red ribbon from the RSCM). Currently, I play with Christ's
Hospital Symphony Orchestra and Chamber Orchestra. We have performed in Mansion House, Petworth
House, St Mary's Church and Guildhall. I lead my own string quartet - RAVEL and we recently payed
to play at the NHS book launch. I sing in Christ's Hospital Chapel Choir, Schola Cantorum, Communion
Choir, A Cappella Group and John Hancorn's "Britten" Group. In 2004 I toured with Christ's Hospital
to Paris where I sung in La Madeleine and performed Allegri's Miserere in Notre Dame. More recently
I wrote a winning arrangement of 'In the Mood' for an a cappella part song. My current musical
achievements: - Grade 6 standard jazz piano/singing and Grade 7 standard classical violin.
'Fractus' Composer's explanation here...
[Fractus as MP3] [Opus+ Original as MIDI]
'Duo' sprang from Opus+ testing various algorithms for generating chords. I have basically run this through Garage Band to test how this sounded with better instrument sounds and a little reverb.
[Duo as MP3] [Opus+ Original as MIDI]
'Simple Trio' was originally generated as a string trio from Opus+, but being the result of a test sequence and therefore starting and ending rather abruptly I didn't think this worked, so I decided to add a short introductory passage, and a cadence at the end, and I also changed the instrumentation. I used the Garage Band software from Apple.
