Sound designer, engineer and interactive technologist, with 10 years experience working in professional, educational and corporate environments.

I am sound designer, engineer and technician that has been working in both professional, educational and corporate environments for the last 10 years. After completing my BA Hons in Creative Music Technology with Digital Arts I moved to Brighton where I worked in a studio complex of a higher education college, as well as playing in bands and pursuing my own creative practice. After moving to Lon

don in 2012 I began working at the Barbican Centre, managing all technical aspects of their Creative Learning department. I gained experience in project and production management, event co-ordination and artist liaison. I also worked in the Barbican Theatre, supervising productions and carried out technical work in the sound and AV department. I am currently pursuing a freelance career primarily in sound and interactive system design as well as sound engineering, sound operation and technical production work. I am always interested in working and collaborating with new people on exciting projects, so get in touch if you enjoy my work.

opened its doors for the first time this weekend. A brand new multi million pound venue in Prescot, it's theatre in over 300 years.

I was invited by Abigail Conway to design the soundtrack to a performance installation throughout the week, with members of the community creating their own hand dipped candles encasing their own personal message. This concluded with a ceremony on Sunday night where audience were invited to sit and watch the candles burn, eventually revealing the messages left behind.

On Sunday we had a live choir (the first group of singers ever in the space) followed by a collection of community choir songs, mixed live by myself, drowned in reverb and effects to create a meditative atmosphere for audience just to sit, watch and contemplate.

Learning python with raspberry pi, sense hat and pyo python library. The sense hat provides gyroscope and accelerometer data which I'm beginning to assign to audio parameters for controlling and manipulating audio. The goal is to create self contained audio devices without the need for a computer for art and theatre installations.

Wrapping up a show in Derry with the opening night of 'First Response' tonight. I've had so much creative freedom on this one to compose an original (be it a somewhat dark and traumatic) soundtrack and design.

It's a participatory project working with local first responders during the troubles. The stories are incredibly raw and personal and the first responders and young people will be telling their stories for the first time tonight. Floods of tears from the invited audience yesterday. This one's been emotional.

VR development at Inition with Leslie Deere

Great day at INITION with Leslie Deere who's got me in to help develop her latest VR piece. Using Cycling '74's MAX and Ableton to take motion data from the HTC Vive system as control data for the reactive audio components of the piece. Early days, much more to come!

For Amusement Purposes Only Prototype Launch

This month i've been building a procedural sound and video software patch for a hacked pinball table with Erratica and composer Matt Rogers at Rambert Dance Company! Tonight saw the launch of our prototype. The system uses Cycling '74's MAX to take triggers from the pinball machine to generate video sequences and musical composition. As you can imagine, it was a lot of fun to play.

Great to get some people in front of my Kinect body sound control system at the at ROAMEO showcase tonight. Always learning.
