Theatrical music

This music was written to accompany informal performances of (mostly Shakespeare) plays by friends. It has also let me reacquaint myself with computer music recording and production.

Music for Macbeth

These three are best described as "ambient".
Banquo's ghost (1) (1.55), Banquo's ghost (2) (1.20), Lady Macbeth (3.46).

These tracks are experiments with collaging vocal noises and applying effects. Yes, I like reverb a bit too much. Note the first is constructed entirely from a single sample of me speaking the infamous witches' refrain, processed into oblivion.
Double, double toil and trouble (1.52) Black Spirits (0.30), Come away (0.21)

Other predictably witchy music, with distorted woodwinds and folk drums.
Witch 1.3 (1.39), Dance 4.1 (0.25).

Fanfares, alarums, sennets and the like, of varying interestingness.
Alarum 1.2 (0.14), Flourish 1.4 (0.11), Hautboys 1.6,(0.14), Hautboys 1.7 (0.12), Act 1-2 interlude (0.25), Act 2-3 interlude (0.16), Sennet 3.1 (0.07), Colours 5.2 (0.10), Colours 5.4,(0.14), Colours 5.5 (0.10), Colours 5.6 (0.11), Colours 5.9 (0.16), Flourish 5.9 (0.12).

Incidental battle music, intended to be more interesting than synthetic fanfares. Pitch-shift is a useful tool for adding spice to plain brass sounds.
"Your leafy screens throw down..." (0.57), Scene 5.7 (2.00), Macbeth and Macduff (1.52) (much darker!), Alarums 5.8 (0.58).

Macbeth: Finale (5.22). This is shamelessly intended to be in the style of film end credits.
