Working with Drake Music Scotland previously, I had some experience of creating music in an inclusive environment and using technology and acoustic instruments together. Following on from that I wanted to explore a few areas - difficulty and 'dissonance' - which I had shied away from previously, in an attempt for the music to be more approachable.
The second day of our intensive workshop began by getting straight to work. The composers and musicians immediately started revising their pieces, making final adjustments before the last run through and performance to the group.
