About Me



I am an experimental artist specialising in creating electronic instruments, generative music and real-time interactive audio-visual systems. My work tends to focus on the cognitive relationship between sound and image in a performance context and the cultural relationship between media objects and their audience. These areas are explored through mythical themes and archetypical characters, with a strong literary influence from fairytale and poetry.
