Lee Fraser

Dark Camber comprises four works composed between 2009 and 2012, using materials derived from a range of digital synthesis techniques (augmented with some electroacoustic treatments of concrète objects in a number of places to achieve more complex sonorities). While the influence of natural phenomena is often acknowledged in the behaviour and organisation of these materials, the focus of each work as a whole is on sound in the abstract — within an aesthetic/formal context — where interest might be found in the play of colours, dynamic contours and/or overarching structural developments. Lee Fraser is a composer whose work combines aspects of acousmatic theory with the compositional methods of computer music. He holds a PhD in electro-acoustic composition from the University of Manchester, which was supervised by David Berezan. He has also studied composition under Frank Denyer and Denis Smalley.
