I am a British Composer and Sound Designer exploring the intersection between emotive storytelling and immersive sound design. My work often aims to shine a light on challenging aspects of the human experience.
As a frequent collaborator I have been incredibly fortunate to have contributed towards projects from some of the most celebrated figures in modern music, including Jónsi of Sigur Rós and the late Jóhann Jóhannsson.
My debut Mortal arrived in 2020 through London label Human Worth, offering a gentle meditation on solitude, the conflict of isolation and the transformative impact of nature on a fragile mind.
The following year I scored Tom Wakeling’s award-winning film Pattern. A kaleidoscopic portrait of obsessive thought spirals that sparked a fascination with manipulating the voice. The film became an official selection at London’s prestigious Raindance Film Festival in 2023.
My music soon caught the ear of acclaimed electronic artist Max Cooper, who invited me to join his venerable Mesh imprint the following year.
Wake arrived early 2025, marking my most introspective work to date. A deeply personal account, documenting a turbulent period of self-recovery and exploring the power of collective empathy.
I also scored the mind-bending Female Captive, featuring an acrobatic performance from Pauline Chalamet and a groundbreaking score, created entirely from manipulations of the voice.
Further projects include the Berlinale Panorama Audience Award Winning Prosecution with Icelandic Composer Gabríel Ólafs, Thibault Emin’s Else with Shida Shahabi and History of Evil with Paul Corley for Shudder. I also co-produced the new Grandbrothers album Elsewhere and the forthcoming Bodies of Water with Sofi Paez.
In addition, my music can be heard in innovative campaigns for the likes of BMW, Hummer and BAFTA.
