Before studying at the Glasgow School of Art, I pursued Music Technology at the University of the West of Scotland in Paisley. I then spent a year in Kraków at the AMA Film Academy studying Film Sound, and studied Music Production at the Outpost Academy. My curiosity and passion for sound also took me on a three-month journey across South America, where I gathered field recordings in places such as the Peruvian Amazon Jungle and the Bolivian Andes. I’ve also spent two months travelling through Southeast Asia and three months exploring the landscapes of Iceland.
During my time at GSA, I developed a wide range of technical skills including 5.1 mixing, music and sound for media production, post-production workflows, as well as spatial audio (including sound for games) and interactive sound. I’ve become proficient in tools such as Max/MSP, Pro Tools, and Premiere Pro. This showcase presents a selection of the work I created while studying at GSA.
My research and practice focus on areas like real-time sonification of weather, generative sound, and field recording – especially exploring how sound can manipulate emotions in relation to the moving image. My compositional approach is inspired by artists such as Chris Watson, the Icelandic band Múm, Sun Kil Moon, and James Blake. I often repurpose field recordings and interweave them into my work, creating immersive sonic textures.
