Mercurialscape is an electronic music EP derived from the word "mercurial," describing a person of unpredictable, rapidly shifting moods. The EP charts a journey through an imagined dystopian future using the sonic palette of the past, drawing on techniques such as tape cutting in the tradition of musique concrète, analogue drum machines, and synthesisers. Created alongside Dylan Hooper and Louis Quillian as part of my third-year Sonic Fiction submission, my contributions centred on mixing and mastering, with some involvement in production.

This is a collection of recordings from my WAMPTA (Western Art Music Production Techniques and Aesthetics) module, which focuses on acoustic recording and mixing within the classical tradition, emphasising stereo miking and natural acoustic spaces.

I've done research and drawn inspiration from classical acoustic techniques used by ECM and Decca Records, and artists like Pat Metheny, going into this project.
