A Stick Sharpened at Both Ends
Adventure / Orchestral / Electro-acoustic · 2025–2026
Five movements being scored to the novel of Lord of the Flies with a modular synth & chamber ensemble.
With various elements and voices from the orchestral sketches below, I'm now working to design patches on the Make Noise TMMM system, among other stuff processed through and captured inside/outside the studio.
