About Me |
|
| Peter Mccracken is a melbourne based composer and multi-instrumentalist. he released his first solo record 'ictus / village rounds' in 2006 after years playing different instruments in bands in australia and studying and composing music. 'ictus' is a set of pieces inspired by studying in new york. in this work the guitar is used as a sound making device, rather than as a conventional instrument. 'patterns from a bus trip' was inspired by a bus trip to north queensland to visit his parents. in 2007 mccracken composed 'upon the death of a friend' as a dedication to two artist friends who had died.recently studying composition at the con, he has founded a one man reaction against minimalism, and continues his search for post-modernism and beyond? |
