Sound Practice & Therapeutic Research
A sound practice shaped by music theory, electronic production, and an ongoing exploration of how sound affects the body and mind.
Background
My sound practice is rooted in over a decade of musical exploration — shaped by my work as an international touring and recording artist, and deepened through an evolving interest in sound therapy, music production, psychoacoustics, experiential sound, and embodied listening.
I began formal training in sound therapy in 2021, completing a two-year programme with the British Academy of Sound Therapy.
The course combined case study work with anthropological, historical, and therapeutic approaches informed by neurophysiology and behavioural psychology — offering both theoretical grounding and hands-on experience in the emotional and physical impact of sound.
Applied Sound Work & Research
I’m interested in sound work that’s not only commercial or artistic, but also grounded — something people can actually use. It’s easy for this kind of work to stay in the world of ticketed events or curated spaces, but I want it to be available outside that too. Historically, music-as-care was communal. That still matters.
Practice-Based Research
In 2024, I led two twelve-week sound therapy programmes in collaboration with the national drug and alcohol recovery service Change Grow Live.
With permission to carry out the work as a case study, I gathered weekly qualitative data through listening exercises and participant reflections. The findings now inform a developing body of writing focused on the emotional and relational impact of immersive sound.
Community Sessions & Creative Workshops
I’ve also facilitated sessions for community groups and national and local charities, and led creative workshops for emerging musicians exploring sound in their creative practice.
