Blur & Bloom (2025)

For Violin, Viola, & Cello (String Trio)

Composed to four pictures taken in Europe in December 2024, Blur & Bloom explores musical analogies to photographic techniques, tracing a musical journey from motion and chaos to luminous calm. The two-movement piece follows a trajectory from agitation toward stillness, blurring with dissonance, instability, and rhythmic turbulence. Gradually, the musical image resolves into radiance and calm, as harmonies bloom and spaciousness evoke the gentleness and warmth of light.

Event Horizon (2024)

For Digital/Electronic Instruments

Event Horizon is an original electronic work that features many digital effects and instruments, taking inspiration from the contemporary genre of Electronica. I wrote this piece to a film-edit I rendered on Blender, depicting a spaceship falling into a black hole, taking inspiration from Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar, and using NASA simulation footage.

Fractured Sky (2024)

For Piano, Harp, 2 Violas, & 2 Cellos

Fractured Sky, is an original work that I composed for multi-tracked piano, harp, 2 violas, and 2 cellos, depicted a post-apocalyptic world. This work is inspired by film and game music. The first section is harmonically dense and dramatic to represent the dangers humanity faces in surviving apocalyptic circumstances, with a contrasting second section featuring bright and soaring melodies and harmonies to depict the hope in rebuilding humanity. This work has a large jazz influence displayed through dissonant harmonies and polyrhythmic ideas.

Myths & Magistrates (2024)

For Piano, Harp, Violin, Viola, Cello

This composition is a soundtrack I composed and performed in a trio for an original play Myths & Magistrates that I organised alongside three actors. The play was roughly 25 minutes in length and was set in the realm of ancient and mythical gods with live music played by my trio, reflecting the unfolding conflicts and dilemmas as wars erupt.

All art for Myths & Magistrates was created by Melinda Earle and Lauren Cuttings.
