Object World is a collection of three compositions produced over a eight-year period from 2010 to 2018. The compositions are a set of variations - and consist of shared material - with repeating elements that echo each other.
Composition 2010.01 is based on the tone-cell of C2 - A#2 - C3. The composition was was first performed at Corpora Aliena - IKLECTIK - London - 25.05.2019
Composition 2013.05 (Untitled) consists of short fading sounds separated by silence. Ring-modulation was used to create a level of harmonic complexity.
Composition 2018.02 (Untitled) consists of a continually repeating tone with additional fading sounds.
Sparsely textured - the Object World compositions are examples of ‘technological lessness’ - or what the American architect and philosopher Buckminster Fuller called ‘post-industrial ephemeralisation’ - of doing more with less - of doing everything with nothing. The compositions use a reduced palate that emphasise minimalism and restraint. One of the aims of composing this music was the desire to touch upon the most basic essentials of existence.
In philosophy - the ‘object world’ can be understood as the external reality that exists independently of our perceptions - thoughts - and consciousness. It refers to the realm of tangible and intangible entities - including physical objects - abstract concepts - and everything that exists beyond the boundaries of individual subjectivity. Philosophical investigations into the object world delve into fundamental questions about the nature of reality - knowledge - and the relationship between the mind and the external world.
