Composer
HUMBUG
In October/November 2020 I wrote and recorded the theme and incidental music for Wrongsemble’s online production, HUMBUG.
HUMBUG was a set of short online films, set at Christmas, that together created an interactive narrative which families could enjoy at home.
It was be released online on 1st December.

Composer/Tutor
Leaver's Song Project
For three weeks in July 2020 I worked with final year pupils at St Columba’s and St Joseph’s Catholic Primary Schools, Bradford, to write and compose their School Leaver’s Songs.
Writer / Drama Teacher Sian Willams and I met Year Six teaching bubbles each week via video conferencing, to explore their memories of Primary School and their hopes and fears about the changes ahead. The process was especially poignant under lockdown, with pupils already familiar with the experience of missing those close to them.
The project gave the pupils a degree of outlet for their current situation, along with a unique musical record of this developmental milestone.

Director
Viral Music
Viral Music was an online community music and writing project that I ran for residents of the Bradford District. It was funded by the Bradford Council Covid-19 Response Fund, and ran for two weeks during May 2020.
Participants of all abilities, ages and backgrounds collaborated online, creating and developing musical and lyrical themes, exploring the experience of life in lockdown.
