Work Overview

Funded by Arts Queensland, this music was originally written as the score to the ABC documentary Sex, Drugs and String Quartets.

I have re-edited some of the footage to crteate a montage of images to which a concert version of the music can be performed. No click tracks required as the footage is only loosely linked to the performed music.
