I am a composer, installation artist, creative director, keynote speaker and multi-instrumentalist whose practice occupies the intersection of science, art, composition, performance, and education; most distinctively through a series of works that translate live cosmic ray data into immersive sound, light, and responsive environments.
This body of work was developed through a long-term artist residency at King's College London's Department of Physics in collaboration with experimental particle physicist Dr Teppei Katori. This series, including Particle Shrine, Visitor, and Subatomic, has been commissioned by Science Gallery London and Britten Pears Arts, and exhibited at Somerset House, NAMM Los Angeles, Music China Shanghai, Magna Science Adventure Centre, and covered by BBC, NPR, and Symmetry Particle Physics Magazine.
Particle Shrine received the MIDI Innovation Award 2024; Visitor received the Prolight + Sound Opus Immersive Sound Award 2025.
More broadly, my practice engages with the unseen forces that shape our perception, translating the principles of cognitive science and sensory experience into sonic and responsive environments alongside live data. I invite audiences to navigate the shifting boundaries between the tangible and intangible, questioning how information, energy, and attention move through space. As a composer I work across contemporary electronic and classical music, avant-rock, post-minimalism, and spatial and generative systems, often engaging chance, polyrhythm, and slow structural change.
I am the founder and creative director of Perhaps Contraption, an award-winning progressive brass ensemble whose work spans public space, education, clubs, and theatre — performing at Glastonbury, the Southbank Centre, the National Theatre, and internationally across Europe — and whose projects use participatory and promenade formats to create moments of collective encounter.
I have worked with groundbreaking theatre companies including Punchdrunk, Secret Cinema, and Les Enfants Terribles, and my interdisciplinary practice continues to evolve through ongoing research at the intersections of art and science.
I am based in London, UK.
