about:

Work / Research: I work with and write about sound, performance and interaction. My work often makes use of interactive technologies and is focused around theories of resonance, noise, feedback, embodiment and materialism. I am currently pursuing research into theories of sonorous individuation in relation to the work of Gilles Deleuze as part of my PhD study (under the supervision of Dr. Sally Jane Norman and Dr. Lars Iyer) at Culture Lab, Newcastle University. My research is focused on the use of sound and its particular impact upon behaviour within interactive installation and performance environments. I maintain a blog called beamer where work in progress, ideas, performance and other things are plotted out.

Music: I am one of three drummers in the band everybody is going to die. I perform under my own name doing solo, improvised electronics. From time to time I perform with ad hoc ensembles using home made electronics, percussion, found objects and SuperCollider patches.

Pedagogy: I teach a post graduate course in Live Electronic Performance at Newcastle University and run occasional workshops on sound art and interaction at polytechnic.

Freelance: Occasionally I undertake freelance work as an interactive systems designer working with sound, lighting, video and sensor based interaction for gallery and performance work.

If I wasn't doing this I'd probably be a baker.
