There is no score for this work currently available. Please contact the composer for more information.

Insects explores the intersection of two similar sounds: those of insects, and the various sometimes involuntary noises we produce with our own mouths. Composed late at night using sounds recorded from the composer’s own mouth and manipulated with Ableton Live.

Featured in a KVSC FM broadcast and on BBC Radio 3 (Late Junction with Verity Sharp).
