The music consists of parts notated in the score, and parts which are not notated (those are my electronic 4-channel-part and improvisations which I perform with the bass recorder and spoken voice). The score is a collection containing a timeline, commentary, and modules for voice and ensemble, which are put together according to the timeline.

More Radically (2019)
a piece for two performers and video, improvised by mezzo Rosie Middleton and myself. No notated score, only oral directions given by me. I had a dramaturgy in mind. The text of the piece was written by myself. I made the video for the performance.
