This year Decibel commissioned me to compose a new work for their concert called Sounding a Room.  The piece has evolved as part of my current PhD research.  From Traffic Rises as described in the Decibel concert program;

The sound of standing on a pedestrian bridge over the Mitchell Freeway.  From the persistently irregular wash of sound rises melody.  Vehicles passing in each direction.  The initial hum of traffic focuses into individual voices approaching and then passing.  The recorded soundscape surrounds you.  The vehicles become pitches, approaching and passing.  The recorded soundscape morphs into an acoustic soundscape surrounding you.  From traffic rises the single pitch, swirling around you, spiralling upwards and then downwards resting at your feet where you were originally standing on a pedestrian bridge over the Mitchell Freeway.

ABC Classic FM have broadcast the piece, as well as Chris Cobilis’ piece, as a podcast called Francis + Cobilis – Voices From the West.  You can have a listen to it HERE.
