Dichroic Light (2011)

Dichroic Light is the result of a three-month collaboration with the cellist performing tonight, Lydia Whittingham. I would like to thank her for spending so many hours practicing and rehearsing in the studio to carve the piece into its final form.
In my music I have recently become interested in resonance and overtones. The electronics in Dichroic Light aim to magnify these often overlooked sounds within the cello.

‘A fascinating essay in pure sound’ – Alan Cooper,  Sound Festival, Aberdeen, 2011

A recording of the piece is available on my debut album Dichroic Light.
