Interact
In the past I made music all on my own, with my violin, laptop and loop pedals - I made records which I self-financed and hit the road on trains and buses, hauling cases and playing shows just using what equipment I had and what my pocketbook would allow. In recent times however, my musical ideas have grown and expanded - I have been composing for string orchestras, choirs, ensembles, and making collaborations with poets, dancers, artists and other musicians. To make these bigger and more exciting projects come to light I have gathered a community of patrons, all lovers of music who are interested in helping provide funds for each project, interacting directly with the creative process as it happens with their ideas and thoughts, and in turn receiving all the music and much more bonus material. I'd love you to join my community and be a valuable co-creator on future projects.
CONNOISSEURS
Instead of the old way of waiting for a new record to come out, you’re supporting me in making and delivering to you new music every month. I’m going to be making new violin/electronics pieces and new electronic chamber songs. You’ll get a new one every month, including little bits and bobs about how I made them. You’ll also be thanked on all records when they come out, and get downloads of those too. Thanks for keeping the music flowing!
CINEMATOGRAPHERS
I’ve been writing and recording music for independent short films in the last few years, and it’s something I love working on. In 2020 I’m going to make a series of ‘film pieces’ (for films not yet existing) once a month. As well as all the connoiseurs songs and music, you’ll get all the film music and some notes and video insights into my composing process. If you’re a filmmaker and looking for some music…..I’ll give you all the rights to use it as a patron. (Or send me an idea for something you need for your next film - I’ll make it for you.)
