About
I am currently building a career as a professional composer, for both concert music and collaborative media. To this end, I am studying a Masters in Composition and Experimental Sound Practices at the California Institute of the Arts, specialising in composing music for contemporary dance. My research focus is in choreomusicology, the interaction between music and dance. Education
