About: I recorded samples of my staircase, and manipulated them into every sound in this composition. A 10 minute documentary by Ampify following my journey as a sound collector can be found here

About: I created 4 x Kontakt Instruments to accompany an EP I created entirely out of my own sounds. During lockdown, I sampled every day objects around my house and in nature including a kettle, a hairdryer and a lampshade. I then processed and sampled these sounds to create Ableton Sampler and Kontakt instruments, including using scripting language.
