About

I'm an emerging composer, performer and rabbit, based in Manchester, with an interest in music about stories, fragments, environments and memory. I frequently centre close personal relationships within my practice.

In addition to composing for concert settings and soundtracks, and performing with sax, live electronics and spoken word, I am the founder and co-facilitator of experimental electronic music collective MASSIVE NUN.
