Listening is just another way of feeling, understanding, and forgetting; a mode of experiencing through sound; a mode of being in sound as it unfolds. There are no boundaries between not-seeing and silence, smells, touches, and tastes. Cactus or cherry that's the question ...

I am a sound artist, anthropologist, radio producer, and music blogger currently based in Belfast. My sound pieces explore relations between the sense of place/space, materiality, memory, and spatiality in electroacoustic music. I also create multi-channel compositions, installations, and performances in immersive settings. In my work sounds are generated through computer-based synthesis, Eurorack modules, found objects, hacked electronic toys, field recordings, and algorithmic processes.
