Intro

I am a composer studying film music on the Electronic and Produced Music course at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London.

Originally from a small town in the Cotswolds, I grew up playing trumpet in the local brass band and other ensembles like the Gloucester Youth Jazz Orchestra (GYJO). This passion led me to pursue a career in composition, writing original scores in a variety of genres across film, animation and other media.

I am passionate about both orchestral and electronic music and often aim to combine the two. For example, in the organ piece I challenged myself to create as much of the music as possible using samples taken from the mechanical sounds of the water pumps, leading me to explore all kinds of techniques in sound design to create textures combining with live organ for the concert.

Coming from a STEM background, I also love logical and technology-based work and have been pursuing this through coding my own sampler instrument based on recordings I took of my then-flatmate's cello (hopefully to be released for DecentSampler on 'Pianobook' shortly).
