Triptych-Feral Theatre show soundtrack



These are sketches and pieces that i made for a theatre show 'Triptych'.
It was performed in a church in the Brighton festival. I had 3 pieces which had beds on ableton live and i played cello, clarinet, spanish guitar, melodica and sang live for the shows.
I was originally contacted with brief ideas of the shows, i then made some exploration pieces to show moods and instrumentation.
After i had received the scripts i then created full scores for each piece, we then had a week to rehearse/devise the show, in that week we cut away from the full score and the middle piece papusza ended up being totally live with a completely different ending played just on cello.

I spent 1 day doing the original sketch ideas, then 3 1/2 days writing the underscores.
