This piece was first premiered in its spatialised version on the 15th of February 2026 at the Royal College of Music.

crayon music for bedroom walls is a piece that looks at the early days of music-ing as a pure form of creation. 

I wanted to create something that felt infinitely dense, but infinitely unfolding, like looking through 10,000 bedroom windows all at once and trying to make out details and memories.
