Tutorial Videos
I’m giving video tutorials a whirl, have a ganders:
Proximity Om
This installation was made in collaboration with phenomenal artist Om Unit. It uses a piece of physics known as Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic Induction in order to transfer audio waves between two separate circuits dependant on their proximity to each other. The track The Exodus was split into 3 parts, and each audio signal isContinue reading “Proximity Om”
The Beating Birch
During 2020, Nick Murray and I were commissioned by The Quietus and Aerial Festival to compose new music based on the poet Wordsworth. What resulted was our 3 track EP called Progressions:

Microbit Organ
I made a simple gestural controlled organ using Micro:bit and Puredata. It tracks the roll angle using the microbits accelerometer which in turn controls the volume of a sinewave being generated in PureData.
Microbit Experiments
I’ve been experimenting with the Micro:bit microcontroller for a while now, and have realised I don’t have a central post showcasing what myself and other people have been up to. So here, are some of the things we’ve done with microbits: In this Microbit experiment, Helen Leigh and myself connected her (at the time) prototypeContinue reading “Microbit Experiments”
MTFFrankfurt
I had the great honour of partnering up with Music Tech Fest to help coordinate and lead the MTF Labs at MTF Frankfurt. The premise was that we would gather a whole host of music and tech experts of differing expertise together to work collaboratively in just 24 hours to build something new.
