Rhythmology

Description:
My first pieces came about originally when I was commissioned by a dance group to provide the complete soundtracks for two shows they were doing. They had certain themes they wanted to portray in their dance, so in some cases I had to incorporate that into the music, for example, Childhood Memories, or Indian Birth lines which focuses on the pregnancy of ethnic women living away from their homelands. They don't all have such serious backgrounds though, and I've tried to say a little bit about each piece in the information next to the sound clip. The music itself is influenced mostly by the minimalist movement, particularly American composer Steve Reich, as well as British composer Graham Fitkin (with whom I have had the honour of performing), and pop music including Depeche Mode, Orbital and Tears for Fears. So that should give you some idea of how the music may sound.
