This Audiovisual EP is about burnout, writer's block and a longing for identity. At the height of the Pandemic, musicians around the world are left alone with no-one to play to. However, also left to rehabilitate, and relax, for once. But the nature is, we don't want to relax, we are beasts of creativity, we are hungry. How much can we let out fire burn for in the midst of this situation?
'1. The City' & '2. Energy' were presented at LCB Depot,
from 7 - 26 June.

A claustrophobic experience, presented audibly. It is cold, alien and angular. All audio and visuals in the piece are recorded from one GoPro - manipulated and distorted to create the uncomfortable, but unique experience.
Presented at LCB Depot , on 26 June.
Cover 2021

As part of a Studio Production & Mastering module, I (in a collaborative project with others) produced our own take on Grande's Dangerous Woman . Stephen Ddungu made the beautiful strings, Tanya Matute created the infectous Rn'B sections, and Phoebe Scoútari brought her gorgeous vocals. I engineered the backing vocals and the entire project session, mixed & mastered.
Additionally backing vocals were provided by Nneka Uwaechie .

" Civilisation is captivated by perfection. We are continuously hankering after it, constantly striving for flawlessness. Ballet has a reputation for being the most prestigious dance genre: causing homogenisation between the vast variety of dance practices. Perfect Hierarchy is a transgression of the perfectly acceptable techniques of ballet, giving reconciliation to the complexities of other choreographies. " - Amy Kempson
Alternate Suite 2019

Footage given by my module lecturer, I reimagined the suite behind Maxim Zhestov 's 'Sputnik', originally composed by Alexander Plotnikov. My goal was to create a sound that was as realistic, and as gigantic, as the likes of Hans Zimmer or Hildur Guðnadóttir . Additionally, I tracked my own Foley work for the reimagination too.
The majority of the score was composed with Spitfire LABS sounds.

I wanted to investigate the power music has in visuals, to give personality to inanimate objects. Furthermore, I treated the footage as if it were a commissioned film, unedited - thus the music became a film score.
Performance 2019

This performance was presenting my experimentation in audibly broken, or messy, effects plugins. I played tonal instruments and Foley instruments (a metal water bottle, harmonica, a vocoder, etc) and the signal chain consisted of a randomised delay, inconsistent autotune and distorted reverb. All to turn innocent sound into a broken chasm of crazy, disorganised frequencies.
Composition 2020
.jpg)
A study of time, in music. The instrumentation revolves around a few chords played on piano and a randomly arpeggiating synthesiser. However, the entire track gradually speeds up, from 40bpm to 200bpm. This ramp up in speed provides constant tension, like an alternative to a shepard tone.
