    uniE603 UK Garage/2-Step Mix
    This is a DJ Mix taking the listener through the darker, unseen side of the club, with some Garage floorfillers thrown in. music…
    uniE603 Inner Workings (Independent Study)
    This is the fifth track on The Unshakeable Arrow, and the first track of the future section. This is the near future, where humanity has been packed into high rises, and tight living spaces. It captures the claustrophobic feeling of having so many different people packed together in such close quarters, and the tension and lack of work/life balance that comes with it.…
    uniE603 Western Lands (Independent Study)
    The second track on The Unshakeable Arrow, this track jumps forward to when humans first landed in Europe and traveled further north. It captures the colder climate and the wonder and intrigue of discovering the green forests, grasslands and rivers, and the large wealth of possibilities for the development of humanity that came with it.…
    uniE603 The Root (Independent Study)
    The opening track of my debut album, The Unshakeable Arrow, which was created for my final project for my Independent Study module at University. This transports the listener back to the first human civilisations in the deserts of North Africa and the Middle East. It conveys the mystery, fear and archaic nature of these early settlements, with equal parts wonder, excitement and spirituality, as humans began to delve deeper and explore more of themselves and the world.…
    uniE608 Oppenheimer Soundtrack (Composition for Media)
    I composed my own custom soundtrack for the nuclear bomb detonation scene from Oppenheimer, which I did for my Composition for Media module at University. I mostly used Kontakt 7, with some use of Massive in Logic Pro X. I wanted to create a strong sense of tension, imagining exactly how I would've scored this scene.…
    uniE608 From Height to Depth (Music Video Production)
    I filmed, directed, produced, edited and did the music for this music video, which was created for my Music Video Production module at University. The video was shot around Bath, England, and sees the viewer embark on a psychedelic journey from the edge of the city into the dark, foreboding Devonshire Tunnel. videoeditor…
    uniE608 After Everything (Audio Visual Performance)
    I created this music video performance for my final project for my Audio Visual Performance module at University. I created the visuals on Resolume, sourcing from my photos, generated motion graphics and AI art, all to fit with my 8-Bit Psytrance track. I aimed to create visuals the blend into my abstract, stylised, lorez aesthetic. video videoeditor…
    uniE608 The Brass Chambers (Sonic Performance)
    This was the final performance I did for my Sonic Performance module. I sampled myself playing the French Horn and creating foley sounds, then ran it through Logic Pro X, where I applied various Audio FX and processing, and sourced certain synths, before finally performing all of these live using the Akai APC Mini on Ableton Live. video…
    uniE603 KeyQuest (Sonic Signatures Composition)
    I created this for my Sonic Signatures module at University. It combines Drum n Bass with deep ambience and watery, metallic aesthetics. The key sonic areas I focused on while creating it were drones and video game samples, as with the latter I sampled the coin collecting sound effect from Sly 2: Band of Thieves. I also fully mixed and mastered the track myself. music master…
