30 year old British composer exploring the relationship between electronic and acoustic sound, currently living in the U.S with my husband, sonic artist Michael G. Breece.
As regards to my music, I find there is something so fascinating about sound. And thats what I love exploring when I compose. I dont really think in terms of development and form and such within pieces, I think more in terms of pure sonics. And one of the things I find most exciting about living today is that there are so many options for combinations of sounds, acoustic instruments, electronically generated sounds, acoustic sounds treated electronically, field recordings, anything that can be heard can be used and I love that freedom and almost bottomless depths of possible exploration. A more formal/detailed bio is here.
