David Roche
Website and bio:
David John Roach has composed pieces for vacuum cleaners and orchestra, epic planetarium shows, customised Dutch street organs, rock bands, video games, films, theatre shows, international orchestras, and anything beyond or in between.
Performers are welcome to play these pieces in any way the like, classical pima, with a plectrum, with a plectrum and fingers, or in any other way that leads to an engaging performance. Performers are also welcomed to try a campanella approach by playing repeated sections on a different part of the ukulele. Samantha Muir recommends trying this out in Good Times starting at bar 17 and in Skip Galore starting on the upbeat to bar 18.
