This is a piece about leaps of faith,
About leaving certainty for adventure
And escaping our comfort zone

...I cannot wait for this to hit stages later this year.

If you’re struggling with putting a live show together - please drop me a line, it’s one of my specialisms and I’m always happy to chat!

When Mac Seldom reached out about helping him build a live show, I bit his hand off. I spent a couple of weeks showing him options, building an Ableton Live file & coding Max4Live patches - very much my happy place 🧩🥰⚡️🎶

Mac's EP is out on @skreamizm.bsky.social's label btw🔥

After an absolute whirlwind few months launching my album Subterranea

And creating my performance Buried Signals for the Victoria Tunnels, I’ve had a bit of time off my own music to work with other people!

It is an immersive multimedia performance, with light and sound specifically designed for historic site Victoria Tunnel, as well as spoken word, live music and electronics, all merging to tell a deeply personal story that explores the tension between vulnerability and resilience.

After months of preparation, I finally will perform Buried Signals tonight! The entire show runs from 7.30 to 8.30pm in a unique setting.

You can buy tickets on the door or on Ouseburn Trust's website: ouseburntrust.org.uk/events/event...

To light Victoria Tunnel tomorrow, I’m using a set of 8 pixel bars that I’m controlling from #Resolume Arena. I love these fixtures, they’re really quick to set up & can create loads of effects. I built a 2D visualiser with @touchdesigner.bsky.social, which really helps plan for such a unique venue!

Buried Signals is one of the most technically complex performances I’ve ever made. As it’s not in a normal venue and the set-up time isn’t very long - it’s really important I know the system I’m using inside out.

Hopefully the diagram will help during this!

Buried Signals is a unique audiovisual performance I designed for the Victoria Tunnel that runs underneath Newcastle:

I love learning about the story behind a piece of music, especially when it progresses with the composer's personal journey

Thank you for receiving my new single Rex so warmly. I want to share with you more about the journey this piece has taken and what it means to me.

If you're anywhere near #Newcastle, come down to The Globe for the full live premiere of my album Subterranea before it's released tomorrow.

You'll also get treated to hypnotic electronic and vocal noisescapes of Lauren Sarah Hayes and the aquasonics of David De La Haye.

The music on my album Subterranea is me at my most vulnerable & I'm happy to be open about that journey. Here's the story behind my track Worm Knitting.

Out on 25th July, Subterranea is the 3rd release from Lunar Module (the new CD imprint by @castlesinspace.bsky.social)
