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 & 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 & quavers.

In performance, I worked with a variety of metallic tools dipped in ink to illustrate a pre-written ‘skeleton score’, therein creating a secondary score unique to the performance. 
5’10”
