My Work
Current Projects for 2024 / 25
01
Creative Response Composing
Starting in 2023 with my Abstract Art creative response project. I invited composers to write music in response to abstract art exhibition in Reading Museum. I added QR codes next to the artwork so visitors could listen to the music of each composer. in 2024, the museum and art gallery commissioned me to compose a new piece for an Arctic Mirage exhibition which I called Thin Ice.. more info..
