Throughout my years studying at Cornish College of the Arts, I have had many opportunities to experience the exploration of my music through different mediums. I have been working with the creation of music translated through a visual process. Constellations, for example, is exactly that. It is my most disciplined and intellectual piece yet, one that involves a detailed system of visual chaos, then shaped into a complete musical work through means of numbers and charts, rulers and transparency paper. I hope you will join me on this evening dedicated to new sounds and new experience.
