Overview
I am a composer and lecturer with a keen interest in storytelling through digital audio and computer music. My work spans electroacoustic music, film, and interactive media, where I craft immersive experiences.
With a keen focus on inclusivity and post-colonial themes, I strive to create music that challenges traditional narratives and gives voice to underrepresented stories. I believe in the power of sound to bridge cultures, amplify diverse perspectives, and foster empathy.
Drawing on a background in classical composition, electroacoustic music and Electrical Engineering, I explore innovative ways to blend acoustic instruments and electronic and synthesised sounds using current technologies. My interests include sound synthesis, sonification, multi-channel composition and composition for games.
Through my work, I seek to produce high-quality computer-assisted music and inspire critical conversations around culture, identity, and the human experience.
