Below, for your listening (and viewing) pleasure, you will find the Repeat To Fade showreel. It’s full of work for moving image, web, games, and installations. Enjoy! And when you’ve composed yourself once more, scroll further down to a Soundcloud playlist to caress your ears and move yo ass. Then give us a shout and we can get planning.

One of the Superme suite of games, Linkem proved the most popular so the decision was made to let the smartphone and tablet crowd in on the goodness. You can get it here and there’s a taster in video form below.

Made with AllofUs this is the physical content centrepiece of the new Who Am I? gallery at the Science Museum (which my project with Preloaded, Thingdom was also for). It was commended at the Design Week Awards 2011 in the installations category. Below is AllofUs’s video documentation of the space, the sound is from the installation.

Soundtracks for four short mood pieces on the new Glade site, you can hear a mix of them below or see them in situ here. Made with R/GA.

Here’s a sweet little animation for Simyo, the German telecoms company, made with SinnerSchrader and the lovely Duc-Thuan Bui.

Another little gem with Stereo, again for GSMA it’s a little film about wavelengths.

Made with the lovely people at Hi-Res!, this is a short animation to explain how Watson beats us lowly humans at Jeopardy all the time. You can see it here on the Hi-Res! site.

Building Materials is an installed composition, made in direct response to the architecture and use of Exeter Phoenix and created as a result of the 2010 Digital Art Commission.

Sensors spread throughout the building carry raw data back to a listening room to form a self generating audio composition, created in software designed by myself in Max/Msp. I am interested in allowing what goes on in particular architectural spaces to dictate the structure of the composition, be it through human activity, light levels, air flow or its functional, operating life.

Sounds and data wind their way through the building and are expressed visually through coloured tape carrying wires along walls, floors and ceilings, reminiscent of the iconic London Underground map. This network is there to be explored, followed through the building, drawing attention to what often seem like very ordinary activities: the shutting of a door, the squeak of a floorboard, the whir of the air conditioning. I want the work to be underpinned by  such narratives, I like how working like this fills a piece of music with snippets of unforeseen stories through the opening of a window, the joining of a dance class, or meetings in a café.  These insignificant happenings are re-presented in the final composition, transformed, altered or rearranged, leaving only fragments of traceable sound.

At once site specific and portable to other situations, Building Materials cedes much of the artist’s own authorial control. In any other building and at any other time audiences would experience a completely different work because its form is sensitive to, indeed largely determined by, its environment.

Here is a pdf outlining the project in more detail and here is the production blog, which has photographic documentation of the final results, below is a video of the piece.

I was brought in by Duc-Thuan Bui to work with Scholz & Volkmer on these 2 campaign films for Leica Camera AG. They were shown at the Photokina fair and on the product websites. You can see them below.

Picklive is an online realtime game of fantasy football, where you play along as a live match unfolds. My job here was to add atmosphere and excitement to the experience and give it that big game feel. Give it a go here.
