I am a composer, producer, guitarist and researcher working at the intersections of cultural studies, music theory and creative technology.
I have two decades experience writing concert works for orchestras, chamber ensembles and soloists, with premieres in North America and Europe. My current projects focus on contemporary production, exploring the extended resources of microtonality in live and studio settings. My research engages music cognition and perception, Queer theory, Black studies and American studies. I have several years experience teaching in higher education in the United States and United Kingdom, and I currently live in Bristol, UK.
