The Contemporary Classical Composer's Bullshit Generator

For performers, I find that a slightly orchestral approach can often help to experience semantic gestures - or in some cases, even improvise the colour in question. In simple terms, interpreting chordophone-sound-worlds (in addition to layering coherent perceptions) is one of my most radical approaches to periodic composition. The juxtaposition and orchestrating of contrasting technological composers dominates much of my work, and I have an avid interest in mixing the binary with the progressive, the progressive with the dramatic, and the digital with the conceptual. I spent the bulk of my composition degree symbolically writing contemporary riff-music, a most rewarding (if almost-consonant) pursuit. My most personal colour always features strongly in any of my creative compositions. My work has been seminal in the development of 'polytonally-dissonant minimalistic-music', a highly intellectual, and rather disparate genre.
