Music Commissions & Collaborations
‘Interstellar Artifact‘ (Rugg, 2017) is an enigma of a piece for flute and piano. It was recorded in 2018.
Sonnet I (Commissioned by Stephen Caldwell, 2017)
Sonnet II (Caldwell, Commissioned by Aleah Fitzwater, 2021)
The pieces ‘Dark Fields’ and ‘Three Voices‘ (Commissioned/composed by Maraisy) are aleotoric and modern, and were recorded in 2020. There are two alternate versions (the first for dizi and hand drum, and another alto recorder, hand drum and bamboo flute).
‘Shaman Song’ (2024) is a song producer by Gabriel Gates, featuring a Chinese dizi flute. The instrument part was performed, composed and produced by myself.
