Here’s another sample of an overture I was commissioned to write back in 2006. This time its the opening to the Wizard Of Oz panto, another Claire Goodwin Theatre Arts School production which ran at the Theatre Royal in Winchester in 2007. Enjoy…

Another Overture…
Sunday, May 10th, 2009An Overture for Alice In Wonderland…
Friday, May 8th, 2009Earlier this year the Theatre Arts school I used to teach at put on their production of Alice In Wonderland in Winchester. Although I’m no longer working for the school as a teacher, I still write and arrange music for them on occasion, and here’s a sample of the overture I wrote for the show. Enjoy…

Aimee’s Dance…
Wednesday, May 6th, 2009Here’s a short piece inspired by Emily Jane Brontë’s The Night Is Darkening Round me. I worked on this soundscape with a Performing Arts Student who had been given the poem as a stimulus for a dance project, and you will hear her voice on the track. Its a kind of weird mishmash of moving soundscapes, electronica and orchestral score. Here is the full text of the poem, and the audio sample is at the end of this post. Enjoy…
The night is darkening round me,
The wild winds coldly blow;
But a tyrant spell has bound me,
And I cannot, cannot go.
The giant trees are bending
Their bare boughs weighed with snow;
The storm is fast descending,
And yet I cannot go.
Clouds beyond clouds above me,
Wastes beyond wastes below;
But nothing dreary can move me;
I will not, cannot go.
Chloe, a song written for all the victims of physical abuse…
Wednesday, May 6th, 2009Chloe is a song I wrote for all the victims of physical abuse out there. No one person was the inspiration behind the track, I just felt that I needed to write this, so here’s a sample for you. Enjoy…
My Piano, a track I composed…
Wednesday, May 6th, 2009My Piano was composed a couple of years ago when I first started playing with hardware and software that alters a singer’s voice so the results aren’t fantastic, but this post is to let you hear the song itself. I’ll probably rerecord it one of these days now that I’m really good with this stuff! Enjoy…
