I am a London based composer, producer / engineer and Professor of Electronic and Produced Music at The Guildhall School of Music and Drama.

Recent composition includes a commission for the BIT 20 Ensemble for the 70th Bergen International Festival, Dystopian Dreams, a synth and sound-design based album I co-wrote with composer Chris Warner, The Caves Sessions - a triple album of atmospheric pieces recorded in Chislehurst Caves (20 miles of tunnels with a natural 30 second reverb) and I am currently co-writing and producing an album with cellist Richard Harwood.I have been fortunate to record my music with some of the UK’s finest musicians including soprano Grace Davidson, percussionist Paul Clarvis, drummer Ralph Salmins, saxophonist Tim Garland and strings with the English Session Orchestra at AIR and Abbey Road Studios. I have written additional cues for features Comedown and Wild Bill, composed for short films and animations including nature documentary Hilbre and co-written with Ruth Barrett, Michael J York and DJ Yoda.Work as a recording / mix engineer includes projects for Film and TV composers Joe Kraemer, James Brett, Dame Evelyn Glennie, Chris Warner, Sue Verran, John Altman, Ruth Barrett, Rael Jones, Lorne Balfe, Philip Sheppard, Patrick Hawes, John Metcalfe, Christopher Slaski, Max Richter and Terry Devine-King.Work for artists includes Anna Meredith, The Utopia Strong, Tim Garland and Jason Rebello, Yazz Ahmed, Ant Law, DJ Yoda, Boy George, Modeselektor, John 00 Flemming, Teleplasmiste & Underworld. I am highly experienced working with orchestral and classical music, mixing in surround and working to picture.

Previously I worked as Director of Business Development & MD of Post Production for AIR Lyndhurst and Strongroom Studios, and before that worked for Avid Technology as the UK's Pro Tools Product Specialist. I am a graduate of the Tonmeister course in music and sound recording.
