I am a composer, producer and DJ based in Sheffield, UK.  I specialise in multi-media collaborations with poets, writers and visual artists. 
My spoken word collaborations have included music to accompany readings by poets Chris Jones (‘At the End of the Road, A River’ - 2006), Matt Black (‘The Cooling Towers’ Farewell’ – 2008), Linda Lee Welch (‘Flossie Paper Doll’ – 2008), Susan Sandercock (‘Birds in Three Dimensions’ -2009), Noel Williams and others: Exploding Poetry – on-site multimedia installation, Bank Street Arts Centre, Sheffield (2010).
In 2011 I composed music for ‘Goat Boy and Other Journeys’ with poets Fay Musselwhite and Linda Lee Welch and artist and film-maker Susannah Gent. I also produced and performed the music for a live multi-media performance as part of the Nuits des Musees at the Toulouse Lautrec museum in Albi, France.

Am interested in exploring poetry and spoken word with music.
Keen to get involved in more collaborations, so if you have any ideas or tracks that need some lyrical input then drop me a message!
My influences are folk, reggae, blues and electronica.

closer to ground to hear is an installation at Bank Street Arts, Sheffield (1-24 November), comprising audio works and poem-texts by Mark Goodwin and images by Nikki Clayton, with sound design by Brian Lewis. A merging of Tarkovsky’s Zone (as depicted in his film ‘Stalker’) with a portion of the rurban rim of north-east Sheffield, this collaborative work will be reconfigured during the residency, with Goodwin reconstituting a number of the poems and Lewis adding new mixes to the multi-channel soundscape each week.

Recordings from the live installation will be posted on this site between 1-24 November (recorded and edited by Brian Lewis).
