About

I have over 30 years of extensive live and studio experiences spanning disparate realms of post-rock, classical, ambient, punk, film scores, and meditation music. I am passionate about innovating and exploring the wide dynamic range, raw textures and emotional character of the cello.

I continue to develop original compositions and improvisations around loops with electric and acoustic cellos, drum machine and spoken word, while collaborating on multi-disciplinary performances and film scores around the UK and beyond.
