Welcome to Composition Sketchbook!
An exploration into realtime composition, process, decision making, music playing and the compositional journey.
I’m Joseph Buckler, a composer predominately making work for soundtracks and soundscapes.
One thing that I’ve wanted to do for a while, is to take the concept of an artist’s sketchbook and use it to make a compositional sketchbook. A place where experimentation with composition can happen. A place where compositional process can be allowed to run free, and a place to create new music and sounds, in realtime with a focus on the process and the decisions that lead to a sketch of a composition.
The concept of this podcast is to make new compositional sketches, in under an hour, that can be experienced as the process happens and unfolds.
In this first episode, my composition sketchbook entry is based around the sound exploration of a river, recorded in Stogumber, Somerset. I experiment with composing elements that can interact with the river.
For the full experience, please use headphones to listen.
If you’re interested in being a part of the sketchbook or collaborating on a composition that could feature, please email me on compositionsketchbook@josephbuckler.com
I hope you enjoy the podcast!
