about

I am a composer, performer, and field recordist from Norwich studying composition with Amber Priestley and Paul Whitmarsh, sonic arts with Emily Peasgood, and bassoon with Helen Storey at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. My studies are generously supported by the Guildhall School Trust.

My music addresses themes of location, landscape, heritage, folklore, ecology, (beyond-human) nature, surrealism, found material, collage, fragility, instability, and quietness. I have an interest in the collaborative relationship between composer and performer and enjoy experimenting with a range of score-making techniques to facilitate nuanced, inclusive, and open communication of ideas.

I am a co-curator of the Guildhall New Music Society.

Recent projects include:

Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park in 9 fleeting moments
for orchestra
An orchestral transcription of 9 snippets of field recordings I took in the park, celebrating urban and wildlife sounds in coexistence (London Schools Symphony Orchestra commission)

Apparently the news has spread for 8 performers
Muddling, warping, and weaving together overheard conversations from in and around the Barbican Centre
(for Guildhall NMS’ ‘LA LA LA: new music for untrained voices’)

sans rigueur for piano solo
A graphic score palimpsest of Debussy’s La fille aux cheveux de lin inspired by visual artworks by Nick Everitt (for Ben Smith)
