I have been writing, performing and recording music since 2005. My main instrument has and always will be the bass guitar, but I am a multi-instrumentalist with skill on guitar, keyed instruments, drums, percussion, synthesis and programming. One of my great joys is in creating incredible noise with a multitude of effects and layering techniques. In more recent years I have been composing music for orchestration (quartets or larger ensemble). If you're looking for original music for a project I believe I may be able to produce you something to brief. My specialities are in minimalism, ambience, soundscapes and electronic sounds but I would also be able to produce rock or even acoustic folk sounds as required. I'm yet to have my music picked up for commercial or soundtrack use beyond small local projects, but I am ready and capable to produce something special for your project. --- All of my released works so far can be found via _Website not available.

Work Experience

Composer at Earls Barton Big Music Festival
May 23, 2011 - June 3, 2011
In May 2011 I was approached by Earls Barton Big Music Festival to compose an original piece of music up to 5 minutes long for ensemble performance. The specific requirements were to include a role for a visiting trumpet group from London. The resulting piece was performed by string quartet, piano and three piece trumpet section.
Composer at Masque Theatre Company, Northampton
March 1, 2013 - August 3, 2013
Following the previous years work with Masque Theatre I was approached again to compose music for their outdoor summer performance. This time I would be providing backing music for the Shakespeare play, 'All's Well That Ends Well', as directed by Ursula Wright. The music was much more sedate than in the previous years performance and confined more to background. I returned to play acoustic guitar and mandolin, accompanied by musicians playing violin and percussions.
