About me
I am an award winning composer and sound artist based in East Lothian, Scotland. My music is located in the place where formal composition and electronic erosion meet; a liminal space coloured by longing and discomfort.As well as a 20+ year recording history, I have completed commissions for festival installation, theatre and TV. I also deliver instruction in studio arts, programming (Max, Javascript) and speculative sound/music theory.
My studio offers mixing, mastering and audio repair services, and provides a full 'punch and roll' service to voice artists.

Programming - Max MSP, Javascript, NodeJS, SQL
Studio Services for voice artists and audio repair/restoration
