Crime & punishment
In January & February 2023 I worked as Musical Director and Composer In Situ, alongside multi-award winning storyteller, director, performer & writer Debs Newbold, on Chris Hannon's Crime & Punishment.
This exciting, fresh and accessible adaptation of Dostoyevsky's masterful novel, was performed by final year students from Leeds Conservatoire, and performed in Chapel FM, Leeds.

TWELFTH NIGHT / MACBETH
In September/October 2022 I wrote the songs and music for two Leeds Playhouse / Leeds Conservatoire co-productions - Macbeth and Twelfth Night.
Each production demanded wildly different musical styles and sonic palettes, integrating original acoustic and electronic recorded music with acoustic arrangements performed live by actor-musicians.
Composer
on reflection
In May 2022 I composed the ambient soundtrack for 509Arts' installation, On Reflection - an interactive gallery exhibition exploring the nature of memory and identity - at Lancaster Arts.

Musical Director
Meal One
In January/February 2022 I worked as Musical Director for 509Arts' first touring production of Meal One, based on the wonderfully absurd children's book written by Ivor Cutler in 1971, illustrated by Helen Oxenbury.
509Arts' adaptation was a magical family show filled with music, songs, dance, breathtaking projections and augmented reality surprises.
