A meticulously detailed blend of post-punk, dreamy indie guitar rock and brooding electronica, Last Days of Elvis confronts the listener with soaring harmonies over understated yet infectiously catchy instrumentation. Originally formed in Glasgow, Scotland by Andrew Stark and Seán Gallen who bonded over their love of artists such as Arthur Russell and Nick Cave, the band became whole when they relocated to Berlin and met Thom Raysmith and Jason Greenberg.

I am a multi-instrumentalist and singer who studied at The University of Glasgow, graduating with an MA in Music and Film Studies. Here I received a varied musical education including training in sound engineering, field recording, composition of musique concrète pieces, practical tuition, and theoretical research on the relationship between sound and the moving image. A particular point of interest was the narrative and aesthetic function of sound and music in cinema.

In 2015, I relocated to Berlin to explore the exciting musical possibilities that the city has to offer. There I composed the scores and designed the sound for several theatre pieces, short films, web series’ and documentaries. On top of this, I co-founded indie/electronic band Last Days of Elvis and began releasing music under the alias Vital Sparks. 

I now reside in Melbourne where I have continued working within the world of theatre, film and advertising, as well as producing several solo releases. 

Please get in touch if you would be interested in collaborating on your next project.
Founded by Andrew Stark who co-founded indie/electronic band Last Days of Elvis and also performs under the moniker Vital Sparks.
