“Euphoria” - 2022
I produced and supervised music for Julian Rosefeldt’s video installation work “Euphoria”, a sprawling meditation on capitalist economics devised across six narrative films, and musical accompaniment featuring four preeminent jazz drummers (Antonio Sanchez, Peter Erskine, Terry Lynn Carrington, Yissy Garcia & Eric Harland) with original music sung by Brooklyn youth Chorus, composed by classical composer Samy Moussa and rising jazz star Cassie Kinoshi. The piece was premiered at Völklinge Hutte, Germany, and Park Avenue Aromry in New York. It continues to tour the world in 2023.

“Hand of Thought” - 2019
“Hand of Thought” represented a two year-long development process with Indian artist, Sandunes. After establishing a new body of work at Red Bull Studios Berlin, we took British orchestrator Neil Waters to Mumbai where the pair arranged and recorded brass and woodwind accompaniment to Sandunes’ minimalist explorations for piano & Rhodes. The project culminated with a performance at Liberty Cinema, a spectacular 1940s art deco theatre in central Mumbai.
“Searching for Sound” - 2017
This collaboration between Ableton and Red Bull saw three artists undertake a field recording vision quest - a psychogeographic exploration of their native surroundings to collect recorded materials from present day noise pollution through to ancient musical tradition. The resultant content included three individual documentaries, an on-stage panel discussion, tracks from each artist inspired by their source material, plus stems and a sound-banks shared with a global music making community via Ableton & Loop.
“PLAYdifferently MODEL 1”
I concepted and creative produced the rollout for PLAYdifferently’s MODEL 1, a high-end DJ mixer. The video and sound design intended to portray the mixer as something closer to high powered car than a piece of audio equipment.
