The music theatre version of The Night Bride was composed for a concert in a hall fitted with a quadrophonic sound system in Vienna in 2012. The piece was to be composed for soprano and narrator, to be performed by Anikó Tóth, and cimbalom, performed by Tim Williams of Psappha. The rest of the composition would be quadrophonic electronic music created from field recordings, as well as Anikó Tóth's voice.
Way back, I composed and recorded the music for a new BBC Radio 4 drama called Amazing Grace. The drama was broadcast in five parts throughout the week beginning 28th June on Woman's Hour in 2010. The drama was written by Michelle Lipton - and was directed by Justine Potter. The lead character, Grace, was played by Wunmi Mosaku and opposite her was Mrs. Bucket herself, Patricia Routledge.
For anyone unfamiliar with the story, here's a brief synopsis:
As a composer, 2009 to 2019 has been a pretty good decade for me, and I thought it might be fun to document the most prominent events. I had a real drive in getting more overseas performances, and I began to transition from more abstract electronic compositions into more music for acoustic instruments.
