    The full score of Cameron Lam's fast and fun quartet, Interweave, originally arranged for saxophone quartet for the Nexas Saxophone Quartet in 2017. Also includes all instrument parts. [Digital download score]

    Interweave deals with the symbolic concept of shared destiny through the idea of an interwoven tapestry or pattern, requiring many different threads (in this case musical motives) interacting to produce the final result, a completed pattern/tapestry highlighting how everyone’s destinies are linked.

about

Requiem for those lost in cyberspace, while not a true requiem in the Classical sense, takes after the emotional trajectory of remembrance and hope. For me this piece is more personal; while the idea of someone being “lost in cyberspace” was made popular in my generation by films like The Matrix and the Ghost in the Shell series, my core motive for writing this piece was inspired by some of my close friends in my teenage years. It seemed that we slowly drifted apart as they spent an increasing amount of time playing multiplayer games online. I saw less and less of them as they became “lost in cyberspace”. So as the EWI plays its mournful, wandering melody, remember those lost in cyberspace and let us be hopeful that they may return.

Composer Bio: Sam Gillespie (b.1990)
Website: soundcloud.com/sam_gillespie

Sam Gillespie is a Sydney-based composer writing a broad range of music for both live performers and automated computer music algorithms. He creates music that utilises technology while taking advantage of human perception of sound and maintaining a connection with a western music tradition.

His influences include Guillaume Dufay, Paul Hindemith, Luigi Nono, Olivier Messiaen, Alvin Lucier, Paul Lansky, Luciano Berio and Nico Muhly to name a few.

Sam became involved with music from a young age, congregational singing at church, playing piano, flute and later choral singing and synthesizers. He has always enjoyed improvising, which naturally led
to an interest in music composition, leading him on a path through technical and aesthetic studies in recording, mixing, improvisation, acoustics, traditional theory, sound design and software design. He is
currently an Honours student at the University of Sydney, studying Music Composition.
