About
I am a sound recordist who primarily utilises unmixed and unedited environmental sound recordings to create audio montages and compositions that explore the intersection of architecture, psychoacoustics, social dynamics and place. Through employing a technologically limited (recording focused) work methodology, I am driven to find inventive recording techniques that render creative and considered perspectives of place, as well as inspire fresh and idiosyncratic compositional approaches pertinent to the sites, situations and events that I engage with.
My works have been published through: 3LEAVES, and/OAR, AVANTWHATEVER, BCSC, Earwitness, Herbal, MOOZAK. Radia.fm
