Composition of music for 'Vortex' by Humanhood Dance Company.
Biog
I am a Birmingham based composer, sound designer and sound artist. My background is in electroacoustic composition and my music has been presented internationally at concerts, festivals and conferences. I also create sound installations and perform live electronic music with a focus on field recordings and found sounds.

I'm a co-director of SOUNDkitchen, a collective dedicated to the promotion and creation of sound based art and experimental music. We create site-specific soundwalks hosted on our SOUNDwalker app, curate live events, create sound installations and perform live electronic music.
