homo.chrysalis

homo.chrysalis is the synthesis of my research into Visual Music as part of my MA. All original sonic and visual material was captured, manipulated and arranged for this project. The piece explores ideas of transformation across narrative, sonic and visual domains, using the life cycle of a butterfly as a key structural inspiration.

About Me

Hello! I'm Chris, a composer and sound designer based in the UK. I specialise in experimental music composition, film-scoring and sound design, and am currently focusing on learning audio middleware and game audio implementation using Wwise and Fmod. 

I recently graduated from Coventry University with an MA by Research into Visual Music, exploring the possible relationships between sound and image, in terms of aesthetic choices and narrative consequences, experimenting with storytelling in unconventional ways. This followed a BA in Music Composition, that rounded and honed my compositional practice.

I am also a guitarist & bassist, and have been gigging with the pop-funk band The Upsiders for 3 years, including songwriting, performing and recording.
