Concert Works

Here you will find ‘abstract music’ that is not (currently) attached to any film. Some of the sound-worlds presented here are quite divorced from the film music heard thus far, though this more experimental side of the composer does slip through from time to time...

Composer

Popes

An electroacoustic opera

“One of the most amazing examples of swarm creativity” (Peter A. Gloor, Swarm Creativity)

A collaborative composition by Douglas D. Grannell, Gareth Dylan Smith and David Hönigsberg for Swiss record label Yucca Tree Records.

Visiting Scholar at MIT, Peter A. Gloor, writes about Popes as an amazing example of ‘swarm creativity’ in a Collaborative Innovation Network. His book ‘Swarm Creativity’ is published by Oxford University Press.

The OOPPERA CD project features seven 10-minute operas by seven composers or composer teams and is available from cafeshops.com.
