I'm excited to share my latest release:
'freight' is a meditation on environmental theft, destruction, and rehabilitation.
Take it with you on a walk by the water, or just let it wash over you in whatever way brings you some peace.
It was inspired by Dan Egan's "The Death and Life of the Great Lakes" (wwnorton.com/books/the-death-and-life-of-the-great-lakes/). I highly recommend it.
All proceeds will be donated to the Hamilton Conservation Foundation (hamiltonconservationfoundation.ca)

My first EP is out on Bandcamp (link in bio). It's a collection of different things which have stuck with me over the last few years and have continued to bubble to the surface, hence the name.
My journey as a solo artist has been fun and challenging and I appreciate all those who have already taken the time to listen. I hope there's some bit of joy in there for everyone. đź–¤
Jetsam is out! (Link in bio).
It's been such a pleasure collaborating with @sistrasounds . Everything came together really quickly and organically.
I can't wait to adapt this to a live setting and see how it evolves.
Please listen and share, we're super proud of this and excited for the future!
Make an Album in One Week with Graphic Scores on Toronto Island.
This album was created during the @dyski.co Sound Maps residency at @gibraltarpointto , Toronto Island, 2 to 6 March 2026.
A simple computer script generated graphic scores, track names, and coded instructions. Participants interpreted these scores freely, responding to the island environment. Sound sources include the @musicthingmodular Workshop System, a portable modular synthesiser, and the diverse sonic environment of the island itself.
The album will be available on Bandcamp on Wednesday 15 April 2026.
Join us for a live listening party on Wednesday 15 April at 9pm GMT and 4pm EDT.

A little excerpt from a collaboration with @_teddyhunter & @nauticalartifacts (and Hugo) from our time at @dyski.co Sounds Maps retreat last week on Toronto Island @gibraltarpointto
The graphic notation/visual score was a beautiful coming together of so many elements and moments collected amongst the Islands first glimpses of spring. We gave voice to these elements with @musicthingmodular workshop system, @dreamcymbals and gongs, Teddy’s vocals and amazing plant talking abilities 🪴
Special thanks to @tomwhitwell and @dionstar for the organization of such a wonderful week of people, moments and memories. Much love to you all and look forward to our paths crossing next.
A few of you have expressed interest so I'd like to make it official.
I'm hoping to release an album of remixes/reinterpretations of freight, my last release. Link in bio
No rules. Anything goes. Just DM or comment with your pick and I'll add you to the list. First come, first served. I'll update this as they are spoken for. Stems available if you want them.
Taken so far: lamprey, hope, canal, balance, bloom, drain, watershed.
Maybe we'll do some doubles, let's see how it goes.
Naustra al fresco. Had a blast playing at the man Todd’s birthday celebration. Big ups to Bowie the corgi, our muse/sonic antagonizer.

Hey Toronto friends đź‘‹đź‘‹
Next Friday at The Tranzac, Naustra (@sistrasounds and I) will be playing a live interpretation of our recent EP Jetsam.
Come out and quietly nod your head at 80bpm.
