Hurrian Hymn No. 6

“Hurrian Hymn No. 6” is the oldest known piece of music, a cult hymn from 3400 years ago. The cuneiform signs in the Hurrian language were discovered in the ancient Syrian city of Ugarit. I started this arrangement a few years ago, but have completed and released it now in dedication to the people of Syria.

Dust on my Hands

This four channel composition premiered in Dublin as part of Listen/compose/perform, curated by Karen Power.

The original tracks were created by sounding the former Royal Cork Yacht Club of Cobh, Ireland, using materials such as beach stones, upright piano, and rusted iron ornaments.

Three Foghorns

This composition was created by layering cruise ship foghorns, diffusing them from different locations about the performance space. Including, notably, from inside a locked sea chest. It premiered on the final night (25 May) of my residency at the Sirius Arts Centre.
