My compositional technique is to create a series of chance based generative sequences that can be re-ordered, processed, sampled and layered. I use guitars, synthesisers, effects pedals and found sounds to create the initial building blocks of piece. I aim to keep sequences around the two minute mark out of respect of the listener. The process is dependant on a combination of accidental combinations and aesthetic judgments. After selecting the most suitable sections of notes, midi data or sound, the sections are then reordered according to pre-defined rules, sometimes randomly or partially conditioned by Pure Data patches written specifically for each piece or project. 

My palette of sounds comes from guitars, synthesisers and samplers. Some of the sounds are sampled sounds, some are found sounds that are heavily processed, and some come straight from hardware or any combination of these. I make extensive use of looper pedals and delays. I try to work fast and not fix every imperfection. 

I'm looking for a musical outcome, but not a traditional harmonic or narrative one. I believe that each piece should be logical and consistent within itself. The use of generative patches and reliance on accidental and deliberate juxtaposition to make sound is a personal journey. It is an exploration that deconstructs and re- sequences audio within a subset of variable conditions.
