Adventures and Artists:
For two years, I was part of a music ensemble, made up of a trombone player, a classically trained viola player, and my-
self, sound tracking live D and D events, under the banner of Adventures and Artists., I found this experience to be a lot of fun, as well as a different way
of working, in response to both live and pre-recorded Dungeons and Dragons role playing games.

Adventures and Artists OST Volume 1: https://anapodcast.bandcamp.com/album/adventurers-artists-ost-vol-1
​
This album documents the process of care and repair that OSE Associates administered to the garden space, at OSE, while working with Art/Design/Architectural collective Assemble, during their first term at the school.
All tracks are made solely from those recordings taken. during the process of intervention, between April and June of 2021.
The intention was to make a record that people could enjoy while they were relaxing in the garden space, from the surplus sound generated during processes such as pounding chalk for making naturally derived paint, working with wood, or making Terrazzo tiles.

'Keep Calm...'
This album was produced as part of my final exhibition at Open School East-with tracks included in my multi-media interactive installation piece 'Keep Calm...'.
Find out more
In 'Keep Calm...' a relatively mundane office space offers a contrasting backdrop to a small assortment of (wonky) audio-visual musings and delights. The aim of the conscious clash of the ordinary with the out of the ordinary is placed to provide the audience with an unconventional space for contemplative thought and reflection. (from exhibition blurb/write up. 'Once More With Feeling'. OSE. February 2022)
The album was produced using material recorded between October 2021-February 2022.
