The Internal Glow of Electric Hearts (2010)
Details
Description: Solo electronics
Duration: 5'
Instrumentation: Elec
Commission: N/A
First performance: 2010, West Road Concert Hall.
Recording: Original mix
Programme Note
This is the oldest piece in my catalogue. Its fidgety riff was composed at a National Youth Orchestra course while I was still at school, and mix in my first term at university. The electronics combine with a spoken setting of Marinetti's Futurist Manifesto, in a translation by my friend Oran Maguire, while the vocals were sung by Catherine Harrison. Unfortunately, the mix shows the limits of electronic skills as an 18-year-old. In time, I will make a good live version and higher-quality recording. For now, the work is mothballed.
