Oliver Searle: Technophonia

Commissioned by Drake Music Scotland

Sunday 15 July 2012

Technophonia is written for a new kind of ensemble. It brings together cutting-edge music interfaces used by Drake Music Scotland - Soundbeam, Brainfingers with Notion software and the newly developed Skoog - played by young disabled musicians and a group of their peers on more conventional orchestral and electronic instruments.

Oliver Searle's music will challenge and inspire the young musicians to combine their individual talents to achieve a unique team performance, a 12-minute musical event that will stir their audience and stimulate them to think again about what is possible, as well as how we define musical instruments and performing musicians.
