In the spring of 2013 I was commissioned by the Baltimore Annex Theatre to compose a score and design the sound for their production of Macbeth by William Shakespeare. I took as my jumping off point the microtonal tuning of the highlands bagpipes, native to Scotland, the setting of the play. From there I diverged from Scottish influences and composed a score that underscores the sinister tone of the play and Macbeth's descent into madness while evoking the emotional destruction left in his wake.

After the run of the show I adapted the score for release as an album, which is being released by Ehse Records winter 2014. This is what is included here.
