Carla Rees

Carla Rees is an alto and bass flute specialist, based in London. She is the artistic director of rarescale, an ensemble which exists to promote the alto flute and its repertoire. She plays Kingma System quarter tone instruments and works frequently in collaboration with composers to develop new repertoire and techniques. More information.

Paul’s Walk

My new work for Paul Roe, clarinet, and live electronics and text, Paul’s Walk, will be premiered at the Concorde Contemporary Music Ensemble’s 2015 Up Close with Music series at the RHA Gallery, Dublin. If you’re in Dublin on 26 April, come!

I’ve written and recorded a text for friend and fellow composer, Richard Hoadley to use in an interactive work with pianist Philip Mead. Really looking forward to seeing (and hearing) what he does with it. He and Philip are presenting work-in-progress at the London International Piano Symposium.

Another performance for Making Place at Goldsmiths College, London, December 6th, from Kate Halsall and Fumiko Miyachi.

After much wrangling with software (mainly Openframeworks and Xcode), I’m pleased to announce that Window is now available as an app for iOS and OSX. Check it out!

Window is an interactive sound essay originally made in javascript and html5, but now also available as an app, which I made in memory of John Cage and in celebration of ordinary listening. It won the 2012 New Media Writing Prize sponsored by if:book. Leonardo Flores has since written this perceptive (and poetic) review.

On November 10th I’ll be giving a talk at the University of Hertfordshire on my work with text and voice, in particular Making Place and Window.
