MEASURE FOR MEASURE
"Injurious world! Most damnèd Angelo!"

This particular Shakespeare production was set in the latter half of the 20th century, and required music that would help create a rough, seedy and hypocritical modern day Venice. Heavy on satire, I composed on a variety of instruments, including a Church organ for the convent, synths, harpsichords, and a range of guitars (wah and feedback distortion), but my favourite experiment involved composing a pop song heard on the Duke's radio in the second half of the show in amongst news bulletins, which is a modern pop version with Shakespeare's traditional lyrics to Take O Take Those Lips Away. Alas, this demo version does not actually feature any lyrics.
