Next in line is Paul Newland, a highly awarded composer. Studied at Royal Northern College of Music Manchester, Royal Academy of Music, Elisabeth University of Music Japan and Royal Holloway University of London. The Japan aspect sounds especially interesting, ofcourse.
Here he talks about his soundscape piece "situation 2". Performed by [rout].
Theatrical? ... yes. Not in the literal sense, but yes. The way he presents the material, let´s the performers have a hand in the composition, gives it that feel.
Again did I have a hard time finding material to sample. It´s like getting to see the food you are about to eat, but not smell or taste it.
This is happening almost in realtime. Now, whilst writing this blog, I found a CD with a piece of his on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Decoding-Skin-Philip-Howard/dp/B00012OX0K/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1307444963&sr=1-2
Available for download and sample listening. A big questionmark from me to Amazon regarding the "download only available in the US" remark. Quite unexpected and I can´t see why it shouldnt be available everywhere. I´m sure it´s not for technical reasons atleast.
