Music and Writing
Off the Island is a full length play based on the Epilogue of Shakespeare's The Tempest.
​
What would happen if the actor playing Prosporo were not "released from his bands, with the help of your good hands"? How would he react to finding out that he only exists so long as the actor playing him continues to do so?
OFF THE ISLAND
What you make of it
Two songs I wrote for the Central St Martin's film showcase 'What you make of it'.
​
They were created on Cubase, and were used as a musical interlude for the films.
​
It was important in this regard to capture the atmosphere of the films on display and put forward the CSM ethos through the whimsical yet bitter-sweet music.
Sounds For Ukraine
This was a piano concert in aid of NGO Molotok - a charity providing shelter to children in Ukraine following the Russian invasion.
On September 9th this year, I performed at this charity event in Covent Gardens with three of my original compositions played live for the first time.
The music in this video is a piece called ‘Acclimation’ - a piece written for this event along with WYMOI 1 and 2 above.
PLAVIBRAD
Plavibrad is an upcoming VR reimagining on the story of Blue Beard. Above is the 10 minute orchestration for the story. In this version, we see a greater emphasis on Judith and the ways that the stories we choose to tell affect our future.
VR Music Instilations
These were small poetic pieces that I made to gain a better grasp of staging in VR.
These pieces all acted as a release - when all other usual forms of making art suddenly became inaccessible.
​
These were the precursor to my experiments with both music and VR.
The following are VR painting's I have made along with musical accompaniments.
​
These are made on Tilt Brush, and were all made during the first Lockdown.
With these limitations in place, the music all had to be recorded live at home.
​
They are done in my signature abstract line drawing style with the added element of 3D.
​
The Final video was created on Blender and edited on Premiere pro. The music is a piano arrangement I wrote and played backwards with organ filling out the sound.
​

Project Boost is a small Video Game I made on Unity. The main mechanic is that you're a rocket in a dark environment where you are the only light source - only by moving around can you find where the obstacles are.
​
I had to find a way to show this through the music, so I went with the theme of Espionage and Techno - a unlikely mix but one that matches the gameplay and atmosphere.
MARY AND BOWLEY
Mary and Bowley is a film about a puppeteer and her partner trying to address the issues they're not comfortable talking about by using Puppets.
Click and Drag Images
This is a film that I co-directed and wrote with artists Olivia Kelly and Sophie Goodall. It is a surreal film told through full body puppets and smaller hand held ones.
​
We studied Attachment Style Phycology to create a model around who our characters were going to be and how they would interact with each other.
​
For this film - I wrote the score as well as create the Puppet Mechanism.
