Matthew Dewey Composer and Composer

The Dance of Light is an electronically treated solo piano work originally composed by Matthew Dewey for a street theatre piece for the Adelaide Fringe Festival in 2008. It accompanied a scene on a busy city street, where an acrobat constructed a tall ladder extending from a manhole. Metres above the street, she danced in the light.

Inspired by the sound of a telephone dead tone, “Dead Tone Music” is an electronic work which has a firm harmonic/melodic influence pulled from the classical symphonic cannon. The work was originally composed by Matthew Dewey for a street theatre piece for the Adelaide Fringe Festival in 2008.
