Sound features a lot in my projects and as its own entity, I find sound a powerful tool to evoke emotions and memory, with sound making I use field recordings and often useing tools such as hammers and found objects to create the sounds, metals, stones, glass have been used in the past. With performance I produce live soundscapes using improvisation.

A new site specific soundscape Reawaken with the Dead of Grosvenor Square
"There was a real sense of a cyclical journey, as if joining the dead below on their passing to another realm"
