A little snapshot from ‘sans’ for @cellooctetamsterdam by @setfiretoloraine . I had the pleasure of arranging and performing this new piece as part of ‘Borrowed Time’ at @rewirefestival last weekend. As a fan of Loraine’s, it was a huge honour to work on her music. And as always, it was inspiring to see the attention to detail that my colleagues in the octet give to music and sound. They certainly helped to take my arrangement to a whole new level and I’m extremely grateful.
I made a music video for Nustix. I hope my year 10 film studies teacher would be proud.
You can watch the full vid via the link in bio.
Nustix is 1 week old. Thanks to everyone who’s had a listen and bought a copy!
If you feel like listening or supporting, you can do so by heading over to bandcamp or nina protocol.

Nustix is out!
I’ve had loads of help along the way. Thanks to @renevanmunstermusic for listening to countless shitty tracks over the years and always providing helpful feedback. Thanks to @no.compliments for not only mixing these tracks to perfection but for sharing so much valuable information and experience. Thanks to @mert.audio for the excellent job mastering. And thanks to @aartstrootman for loaning me the synth that provided the foundation for a lot of these tracks.
Although there are only 4 tracks, they’re each comprised of samples and ideas stitched together from A LOT of other unfinished tracks and versions made over the past 2 years. Making music takes time and is hard! If you’d like to support, you can do so in a couple of ways:
1. Follow me on bandcamp or nina protocol via the links in bio (signing up is free and takes 2 minutes)
2. Order Nustix on bandcamp or nina protocol. I’ll be skipping the streaming services for now as they don’t really help anyone not attracting 1 bajillion streams.
Many thanks to those of you who have already preordered! It means a lot!
It’s been a long time coming but I’m releasing my first solo EP on the 17th of October. It’s called Nustix and features music that I made using my cello, my laptop, my phone and a borrowed synth.
The whole process has been bubbling away for the last few years and I’ve had loads of help from many friends who I’ll be mentioning properly on release day.
For now, this is a heads up! If you’d like to support, you can do so in a couple of ways:
1. follow me on bandcamp or nina protocol via the links in bio (signing up is free and takes 2 minutes)
2. pre order Nustix on bandcamp or nina protocol. I’ll be skipping the streaming services for now as they don’t really help anyone not attracting 1 bajillion streams.
Many thanks!
Our newest single “Everytime” is out today on Bandcamp and most streaming services*. Our love for this track runs deep. It’s a cyclic, ephemeral lullaby featuring @alistairsung on cello, hyperreal flutes (@ericasynths Steampipe), and subterranean drums.

Yesterday I had the immense pleasure of premiering ‘Cocon’ at @rewirefestival with my cello buddies @cellooctetamsterdam . This project was something of a dream in that it combined my love of electronic music with my love of the cello and featured amazing works by @browniebonbon77 Jesse Broekman @k__lc@_kamaru_@abulmogard and @cat_barbieri . Added to that, was the incredible stage design by @nickverstand and the fact that the set included my arrangement of ‘Scratches on the Readable Surface-live’ by @cat_barbieri . I’m so grateful for the serious attention the octet gave to making the arrangement work, for my cello/electronic music partner in crime @renevanmunstermusic for listening and thinking along over the past few months, and of course to Caterina for creating such an amazing track, providing great feedback and being open to us performing it. Can’t wait to do it all again.
Had an amazing time meeting up with @sidsriram@evanguymandude and @chriseganiii to record some new ideas a few days back. It was a real pleasure to work with these hugely talented and warm people, and I can’t wait to hear the finished result.
