NORMAN WORRALL
Norman Worrall came on to the music scene after graduate school in the USA and a successful career as an academic psychologist, mainly at London University. His research interests focussed on both social and object perception, an applied aspect of which has been an interest in "image-message consistency".
He has now been writing music for some ten years, mainly for a combination of software instruments (as built into Logic Pro) and acoustic instruments (as available from various orchestral sample libraries). Nowadays, he is also composing chamber pieces for live performance.
Norman has been pursuing image and sound design in film projects for several years. The first result was Imagined Planets. The most recent is Becoming Emily, an 80-minute portrait of the nineteenth-century American poet Emily Dickinson, for which he also wrote the music.
He recently composed incidental music and a soundscape for a University of Bristol theatre production, Dream On!
