A Stick Sharpened at Both Ends
Adventure / Orchestral / Electro-acoustic · 2025–2026
Six 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 designing patches on the Make Noise TMMM system, among other stuff processed through and captured inside/outside the studio.
