I use digital tools alongside elements of musical improvisation, indeterminism and mechanics to produce primarily sound led artwork.
Outside of commercial commisions and collaborations I explore concepts of randomness, emergence and ephemerality.
I am currently exploring the use of Javascript as a medium for producing interactive online work.
