i make sounds and things.
why?

there is an abundance of just about everything out there. joy, repression, pain and beauty can be seen in the cracks and seams of every facet of this world, begging to be seen and felt, wether we choose to do so or not. while treading the line of cringe most delicately, i maintain a resolve to experience the complete range of this every day, without prejudice.
the best manner through which this can be done is making. with music as the primary means through which i try and reflect on everything, and heaps of whatever complimentary expressions i can tumble my way through to mirror these feelings, i’m here to try and portray this in a way that makes me feel warm inside.
with beauty, i should hope.
it’s a blessing to have some wonderful people around me, who’ve taught me much over the years to find ways to hone in on these ideas. some of them, like felix and howard, i share musical names through. pure joy and supermassive help illuminate an escape from the constricting expectations that one ought to stick to a singular pattern of expression, a particular sound or aesthetic. there’s far too much to say for that.
so i’d like to introduce you to some of it. my solo sounds find themselves somewhere near introspective folk-ish feelings, and progress through the fun rollercoaster of both acoustic and grungey / shoegazey tones as pure joy, to much more experimental electronica, often trancey sort of atmospheres within supermassive. so i reckon there’s gotta be something for everyone, somewhere within that range :-]
i could keep talking for days and days about all it all, interpret and analyse things til it’s all dead and dissected. but what’s the point of that? we let things out into the world so they can be felt and experienced uniquely to each person, for one’s own opinions to be made. so i’ll let you do that, should you wish.
i think all that’s important to say, is that so much of this allows me to channel what can often be very uncomfortable emotions, so that i can be whimsical and light-hearted in life. by decorating time with our stories, feelings, the texture life has, we experience the moment much more openly. hopefully, with some more love in the heart.
so this website is a portfolio of all i try to make, alone and with those whom i love the most. i hope you like some of it : ]
oh!! also!
i ought to mention, i’m a freelance sound engineer by trade, and have been lucky enough to develop this skill over the past few years to have it pay for my life. in terms of studio-things, everything you hear that i work on has almost definitely been recorded, mixed and probably even mastered by me. however, i work mainly in live sound, and have mixed across a bunch of venues in london from bricks + brixton jamm with live bands and dj’s, to the tate modern, national gallery, kew gardens, bla bla bla you get the gist.
so, naturally, i’d be quite happy to discuss projects if my services are ever needed by you guys! if this rings true, give me a shout via [email protected]
now back to the artsy stuff
