Hi, I'm Rory! I'm 23 years of age and I live in the small town of Hadfield in Derbyshire, England, UK. I got into composing in my last years of high school when I had to compose a piece as part of my course. At first I was dubious of the task, but I soon came to find out that I actually really enjoyed composing. My favourite aspect of composing is the range of instruments and instrumental timbres available and how I can experiment with them to produce unique colours and textures.

My Compositional Styles
Very harmonically and texture based. I love discovering new instrumental timbres and experimenting with them.
Could I also be removed from the competition, please? All my orchestras have just started again so I'm now very busy and have very little time on my hands.
