Compositions

Geraint has a PhD in musical composition from the Faculty of Music of Edinburgh University. He was supervised by Prof. Nigel Osborne. His work ranges across instrumental, choral and electronic music, and is based on the idea of local tonality within dynamic modal systems, and includes experimentation with mixed tuning systems. He is also interested in algorithmically generated music.
