About

I’m a British sound artist and electronic composer/producer based in Essex, working across record production, spatial audio, and generative or motion-responsive sound systems. My practice blends voice and field recordings with electronic production, designing experiences that move between stereo, binaural, Ambisonic, and large multichannel speaker formats.

I also collaborate widely across theatre, audio-visual performance, and artist commissions—often building sonic identities and sound design for screen and live shows. Alongside releases and mixing work, I create and perform in spatial installations and live setups, and I’ve worked with artists such as Róisín Murphy, Chris Eckman, Scroobius Pip, David Toop, and HK119.

Co-creator and spatial sound artist for a motion-triggered installation exploring how personal data can be used to predict and influence behaviour.

Generative musical material was dispersed through an eight-channel Ambisonic system, with a binaural video stream. The work combines interactive behaviour, spatial composition and a physical listening environment.

Text by Andrej Predin, programming by Sebastian Fresch and voice by Katja Preša. My credit is co-creation and spatial sound.
