Sandbox (2015)

Length: 5'40
Premiere: St Edmund the King and Martyr, London, 14/1/2015
 
Sandbox was composed over a relatively short period of time between December 2014 and January 2015 and was born of a series of improvisations.  The title, Sandbox, is a reference to the programming term that refers to a safe environment in which to try out new ideas.  In fact, this was my first attempt at writing a piece purely using software effects rather than hardware pedals to process the live electronics.

Sandbox is recorded on Electric Dawn (Sospiro Records).
