Spinoza…talks of the body in terms of its capacity for affecting or being affected. These are not two different capacities – they always go together. When you affect something, you are at the same time opening yourself up to being affected in turn, and in a slightly different way than you might have been the moment before.

This page is an archive holding a few sound and print activities completed over the past five years. Final pieces are most often released as limited edition sound and book publications. A few of the sound pieces are unprocessed audio sketches, and others are conceptual compositions arranged to lead the listener away from the original sites where the recordings took place. I have included both solo and collaborative works.

My interest in sound and listening started early: childhood chronic ear infections; falling asleep with a small hand-held radio cased in fake green leather; and listening to Songs of the Humpback Whale by Roger Payne and Frank Watlington, published as a flexible plastic record by National Geographic. Some of my warmest memories of my parents involved listening to music. 

I have recently started to attempt the trumpet.
