Innocent 

(for children in war-affected environments)

Electro-acoustic

A long-form electro-acoustic soundscape exploring fragility and distance through evolving textures and spatial detail.

Composed using field recordings, sampled material, and synthesis, the work unfolds as an immersive listening experience.

Constructed through layering, time-stretching, and spectral processing, the piece emphasises subtle shifts in timbre, density, and space over traditional rhythm or melody.

Produced, mixed, and mastered by Erthlite using Pro Tools and Ableton Live.

Recipient of the Lilburn Trust Student Composition Award (2001).

The work reflects on the emotional landscape surrounding children in war-affected environments, holding a sense of quiet tension and unresolved space.

Composed in April 2001

"Children do not start wars, and they cannot end them, but they always pay the highest price." 🩵
