Theatrical music

This music was written to accompany informal performances of Shakespeare plays by friends. It also served the purpose of reacquainting myself with computer music recording and production in 2007.

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. Notice that 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.

Music for Cymbeline

Death of Fidele (1.34), Posthumus's Vision (2.57).
