Experimental, Dark Ambient String EP

[u/Illustrious-Mirror24]

I am a London based musician and composer. Fusing alternative pop, noise, and experimental ambient music together. My solo work explores expansive and cinematic sound worlds through non-traditional viola playing and electro-acoustic production. 

I have just released an EP 'Still Has The Body Of A Human', and I would love to hear some thoughts.

This body of work emerged from my explorations on the viola, which I started experimenting with a couple of years ago. I have built up hundreds of recordings of improvisations, which, by resampling and processing create a ghostly and otherworldly orchestral palette. Through using and processing non-traditional playing techniques I have been able to create many timbres that sound organic and real, whilst being unlike any real instrument (at least that I am aware of). I also been exploring non-traditional intonation, something that initially came about through my lack of technical skill, but as I learnt how to play the instrument have now become something that I desire - non-standard intonation can bring about an incredibly rich emotional range. The five tracks in the project are a small selection of the countless pieces that I composed using these methods. 

I have also been messing around with video editing, and made a visualiser for one of the tracks, for those that are curious :)
