About Me

I'm a musician and composer with a background in classical composition, experimental, electronica and film. I'm vocalist, flautist and autoharpist for my experimental band A Scandal in Bohemia .

My solo work takes inspiration from diverse musical and visual sources with a strong focus on Elizabethan song; converting early song texts into haunting and obscure new settings which occasionally traverse the realms of contemporary classical, electronica, post-rock and a sprinkle of early folk.
