A Little Bit About Me
I am a Welsh composer based in North Wales, where my music sound has been described as ‘quietly shimmering’ (Gramophone) and deeply rooted in landscapes, folklore and story telling. My music regularly draws inspiration from natural landscapes, aspects of momentum, as well as my own Welsh heritage and local folklore. From orchestral collaborations with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and Royal Scottish National Orchestra, being a featured Stainer & Bell Composer, to intimate chamber projects with Fenella Humphreys, Riot Ensemble and Beth Taylor, I relish collaborating with a vibrant range of professional musicians across the UK. Above all else, my music directly engages the listener and draws from and champions local communities!
Pick of The Month
The Rippling Tide
Instrumentation: Alto Flute & Harp
Duration: 8'
Themes: Wales, Landscapes, folklore.
Programme Note:
The Rippling Tide explores line and colour between the rich and sonorous timbres found in the alto flute and harp. As the title suggests, the piece takes inspiration from the sea and recreates the fragile rippling as a body of water gets disturbed. This piece explores a static texture to provide an illusion of movement and momentum, imitating how the water appears the same despite having the impression of movement. The music gradually becomes more energetic where the ripples become more frequent, before a burst of sudden energy acting as a climax. After this peak the music shatters, only leaving fragments of melody and resonance before fading away.
Performed by Psappha Ensemble as part of their "Composing For..." programme. Welsh Premiere was performed at the Presteigne Festival with Olivia Jageurs and Chloe Vincent.
My Music in Words
“Inspired by folklore from Cameron’s home of North Wales, Ghost Dances is a thrilling piece in three interconnected movements. It uses fragments of baroque dances like the gigue and forlane to create pulsating rhythms which whirl around the orchestra, depicting ghoulish spirits. Cameron cuts through this frenzied texture with haunting melodies which distort as the piece develops, sounding like wistful calls from the underworld.
Loved by audience and orchestra alike, Ghost Dances had everyone on the edge of their seats!"
