I Became Luminous

experimental multimedia performance

16/09/2011

I Became Luminous is a experimental play produced by The Olga & Clarence Memorial Theatre Company for which I have been commissioned to compose the music.

The music is really important and present in this play. I perform solo, live with bassoon, voice, glockenspiel, melodica and live electronics.
