I am a multidisciplinary artist primarily working as a lighting designer for hip hop theatre and contemporary dance. My main obsession is creating languages between lights, sound and visuals. As a musician, composer and sound designer, I work experimentally and conceptually, programming generative techniques.
Projects
- Dexter - Lighting Design at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and DanceIn July, 2019, Lemon Sponge Cake Contemporary Ballet were invited to create a commissioned work. 'Dexter' was choreographed by Robert Sher-Machherndl of Lemon Sponge Cake and performed by Trinity Laban's BA3 students. Lighting Design by PJ Davy.
- A Murmuration: Sound Design/Composition‘A Murmuration’ is part of a concept album project based on flight-patterns of various species of birds. The aim of the project is not to take a data-sonification approach, but to analyse the physical motion of the birds, and the movement of the bird or flock within the spaces they inhabit. I then transpose those observations to the movement of sound within the compositional space, mimicking the flight-patterns of birds as music.
- Heads in The CloudHeads in The Cloud is a 13.1 multi-channel, omnidirectional sound and light installation concerning the digitisation of our lives through the internet. Recordings of social media, blog, and website posts, vocalised by the original, online-authors, move throughout the installation; transforming into intense, digital noise as they navigate through a central, audio-visual matrix. Caged LED lights and a central 360° loudspeaker act as a physical manifestation of the internet, presenting an audible, visual focal point for the encounterer. Heads in The Cloud presents a physical, human experience to reflect on our relationship with technology and each other, in an increasingly digitised world.
