On 13th Jan, my first new music of the year is released. Ground, Air, Life was commissioned by The Glasgow Barons as a musical response to climate change.
Each movement explores a different facet of the earth, with the slow-moving tectonic plates of Ground developing into the light airiness of the harmonics in Air and finally onto Life and mechanisation.

Continuing my introduction thread with my first album of my #chambermusic : Dichroic Light released in 2015. Includes music for #viola, #violadamore, #stringquartet #pianotrio, #bassclarinet and #electronics About half the works are acoustic the other with live electronics.

It was my first big project after my masters and is a large reason why I started looking properly into the economics of streaming.

2019 I released my second album Entangled with 3 #stringquartet & 2 #electroacoustic interludes. Quartet No 4 (Entangled) was commissioned by the Institute of #physics for the NI #Science festival & based on the work of my great uncle John Stewart Bell.

The thing I’m finding quite nice about this platform compared to the bird is the post length. It’s long enough to get a bit of nuance in there and confirm that you aren’t being a dick or jumping in on someone becuase shortness or lack of grammar can be perceive as that. 500 chars feels such a nicer length to get across a proper, thought out and well intentioned post. Or that’s the way it feels…. Always take things in the best rather than worst possible tone of voice. :)

@scottblasco going to things and forcing myself out of the house to meet a friend or go to a concert. The thing that has usually snapped me out or at least helped turn the corner away from negativity has been going to an amazing concert. It’s never the first one. I’m meaning the “why am I doing this music lark?!” And then hear something and just go “that’s why”. Not sure if that is useful, relatable or helpful but it’s what I thought reading your post.

@michalis everything on that album was made in ProTools with various different types of effects, processing, layering etc .Nothing was synth based, everything was derived in some way from the multitrack (or part of it) of the original recording and then processed.

This is a playlist of a combination of the remixes and their originals https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3eMRRjHWKM3yWtoCOJsHtp?si=ElvAaJfJRfGoiGSH8gir_g

@michalis you are welcome and thank you for listening! Glad you enjoyed it! :) There’s a few more I’m planning to do soon too

During the summer I released my #album The Remixes. Treating my recordings as source material for these new music as #electroacoustic (often #ambient) works was an interesting process. Not thinking of them as my music but just sounds. Also a lockdown project to try and keep me sane….
