Background

I am a musician, artist and researcher based in Newcastle upon Tyne. My creative practice incorporates studio-based composition, hardware-based beat making, instrument design, performance, sound-art and sculpture. My PhD research explores the practices of visual collage-artists (particularly Eduardo Paolozzi) as an analytic key to interrogating concerns of heterogeneous materiality and research on making practices across contemporary arts and humanities. I have a keen interest in art and music and I am passionate about combining these interests with interactive electronics, traditional recording and compositional techniques and open-source technology.
