I am a composer and performer of electroacoustic music. My compositions reflect a love of performance born from my studies as a euphonium player and from playing with my parents radio set. This performance is reflected in the kinds of sounds I seek out and in the way that I use them both instrumentally and in the electroacoustic studio.
In 2015 I began lecturing at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland where I teach music technology. Between 2012 and 2019 I also taught at Edinburgh College teaching composition and creative approaches to music technology.
In 2010 I co-founded Edit-Point, a group that dedicated themselves to the presentation and performance of electroacoustic music.
I am grateful for the financial support of the Ropner Trust, Dewar Arts Awards and Ms Christian Duff.
In my spare time I am a keen cyclist, often pedalling around the West of Scotland, and badminton player.
Current Projects:
- shadows that in darkness dwell – a set of five pieces composed in response to life and music of John Dowland, composed collaboratively with Ensemble 1604
- Micrographia – a new work to be made in collaboration with Ensemble 1604 for recorder, counter-tenor, theorbo, baroque violin, baroque cello, electronics and video. The work will be made in response to Robert Hooke’s Micrographia, a treatise on observations made through microscope and telescope lenses
