encode me
2025 - The Dublin Castle, London, UK
2023 - EMTA, Tallinn, EE

developed at Copper Leg Residency, EE
live performance ‘encode me’ is a sonic-poem for midi harp and live notation, determined entirely by the morse-coded rendition of an original poem. As such, the words of poem can, hypothetically, be understood through the music via rhythmic translation of dots & dashes into semiquavers and quavers.

In performance, I work with a variety of metallic tools dipped in ink to illustrate a pre-written skeleton score, therein creating a secondary score unique to each performance.
