Work Overview

The composition process that led to this score began with orchestral samples of recordings of various chords, single notes and arpeggios. These were imported into the Protools audio editing program, edited, modified and remixed to form more complex textures exploring spatialisation and textural density. The orchestration presented here is a transcription, and further orchestration of the original remixed recording of the samples. Due to the vast number of audio material created as a result of the remix, this orchestration required the need for two orchestras in order to capture the various nuances and effects of the original remixed recording.
