Sound design & music

Sound is a visceral medium for me as an artist and usually plays an integral part in the projects that I undertake, from studio compositions and improvisations to making field recordings for site-specific installations. These recordings form the basis for arrangements and remixes to make soundscapes. I also use a Maschine Studio for mixing and live AV performances.

I also create sound and music directly in the studio using synths, pedals, guitars or whatever else I can hit or rattle. There are more sound pieces in the JAMS section.

Below are some examples of commissioned works.

This soundtrack was commissioned by the amazing Lille based projection mapping artists collective Les Rencontres Audiovisuelles, to make a soundtrack for their Leeds Light Night piece in 2022. To watch the video go to the project page here: Zauberin Des Mondes. Made over a few weeks, it uses a mixture of analogue and digital instruments based around a short melody motif created on the guitar.
