I am a composer and guitarist based in London, UK. My recent music is assembled of plainly-spoken materials arranged by simple processes. In writing, much of my work investigates notation-based musical practice by way of philosophies of reading, writing, uncertainty and affect.

Alongside writing and playing I currently work supporting the National Open Youth Orchestra and I teach at Goldsmiths and at City St. George’s, both University of London; I taught previously at the University of Leeds. I completed a practice-led PhD at Leeds in 2026​, and I freelance as a private tutor and as a sound engineer (live, location, and studio) with flexible, pay-what-you-can rates.
