First day at Townshend Studio.
Creative Access following my shortlisting for the 2026 Artist-in-Residence programme (UWL / London College of Music).
Working with the ARP 2500 synthesizer felt less like playing an instrument and more like stepping inside a system, where every connection shapes behaviour and every signal can become something unexpected.
Spent the session in a kind of listening mode, focusing on interactions, letting oscillators respond to one another, shaping instability and following the emergence of something closer to communication than composition.
Started capturing material for a new work, Ealing Signals.
Thereās also something special about working with the same instrument associated with Pete Townshend and The Who, a sense of continuity between past explorations and new directions.

From score to sound.
Delivered a session at London College of Music on āThe Composer as Sound Designerā, exploring how writing, sound design and production become part of the same process.
Really enjoyed the exchange and the level of engagement.

From home studio ā Prime-time TV!šø
Back in October 2023 I was contacted by Dutch producer Wouter Hardy (HRDY) with a really interesting brief: re-arrange Bruce Cockburnās āIf I Had a Rocket Launcherā on resonator guitar.
I recorded it on my Ozark resonator, micād with a Shure SM57, not the obvious choice for an acoustic, but it gave the track a special edge.
The part ended up being performed live by the talented Joeri Fransen on the TV show Sing Again (VTM, Belgiumās main channel š§šŖ)⦠watched by over 1,000,000 people š¤Æ
Sometimes it takes a while to look back and share, but this project reminded me how a single collaboration can grow into something much bigger⦠all the way to a prime-time TV broadcast.
š Very grateful for the trust and the chance to contribute.
