The Trees Speak blends sound design, music and voice to create the atmosphere of an eerie, mournful forest. The work is about humankind’s neglect of nature over the years and the fact that as we move further towards technological advancement we lose our connection with nature. This mix between technology and nature is reflected in the sound design, with sounds reminiscent of the wind, birds and outdoors which are both natural and synthetic in tone. The words spoken are from the viewpoint of the different plants within the forest, conversing about the way the world is changing.

Earth Rotating was highly commended in the Tune Into Nature Competition 2020 by Yorkshire Sculpture Park and Selfridges. The song is about getting caught up in modern life, its stresses, it struggles and forgetting to take time out. It is about the calming power that nature can have no matter what you are going through. The track is with voice and piano and is in a folk/ ambient/ acoustic style.

Earth Rotating

Violinist, pianist, singer and songwriter. Working within and inspired my many different genres of the music industry including classical, folk, pop, soul, jazz and indie.
I have performed on the BBC, in stage orchestras, theatre pit bands, recordings studios and more. The music I write and compose is mostly of the folk/singer songwriter style, with hints of Indie. Some of my songs have even been highly commended in music competitions. My aim is to be open and honest with my music, and talk about topics close to all our hearts.
Looking for and open to collaborations with music technologists and record producers to help me bring my tracks to life.
