Carmel

I am a Manchester based composer and performer. Since leaving education I`ve worked in a variety of mediums, predominantly writing for theatre, concert hall and playing with the band Bunny Hoova. As one of the nominees for Apple Music’s Rising Star Ivor Novello Award, I am currently under the mentorship of Anna Meredith.

I have previously been commissioned by Liverpool Philharmonic Ensemble 10/10, Laura Bowler, Galvanise Ensemble and Fretwork, Dada Fest and Video Jam among others. I have also been collaborating with the Creative Collective at Leeds College of Music as part of Making Music and Sound and Music.

I previously collaborated with community groups and leisure time chamber ensembles and have a lot of experience as a workshop facilitator.

Outside of notated music I mostly work with live electronics and more pop orientated genres. This can be seen in the Theatre work I`ve written scores for, to be performed live.

Both my compositions and arrangements have been performed live on Radio 3 and I can be seen as one of the synthesiser orchestra in the documentary Decades, a fly on the wall look at the touring production of ∑;(No,12k,Lg,17Mif) New Order + Liam Gillick: So it goes..

I studied at the RNCM with Gary Carpenter and graduated with a 1:1 BMus Hons Composition.

Willing to travel: 4 miles

Experience: I have 8 years of workshop facilitation experience as well as experience of private tuition in guitar, music theory and composition.
