Links to some music by other composers
I promised the orchestra I would post some links to music I like/am influenced by, so here it is:
Many of these composers exploit the full sonic potential of instruments, including some unorthodox playing techniques. I’ve also included some pieces that employ found sounds, or objects that we wouldn’t normally consider to be musical instruments that make sounds. Feel free to respond to anything you hear by adding comments. I can also try to answer any questions you may have.
