about

So much electroacoustic music can sound dark and sad... here's to writing happy music! Having moved house relatively recently it seemed a nice idea to try and capture something of the place in a piece of music. The idea of the sonic postcard has been around for quite a while and my new home village seemed perfectly suited to it nestled on the side of a mountain between the sea, the quarry the forest the expressway and ironically the farm that my Great-great Grandfather owned nearly a century ago. Technically the music bridges a number of different worlds as the slightly contradictory title would suggest. The opening section is based within a soundscape aesthetic using a number of natural sounds, often with no attempt to conceal their origin. This gives way to a more acousmatic style which none the less attempts to maintain a pitched and rhythmically based drive harking away from the concrete style and aiming at something far older. The final section joins these two main ideas up.... hopefully! Turn it up loud
