Sound Recording & Composition
As a freelance sound recordist, composer and sound designer, I have developed my craft over years of experience in the field and have a passion for capturing the essence of environments around the globe. Location sound is my primary focus, and I am available to record sounds that are specific to a production - whether capturing wildlife in their natural habitats or the vibrant pulse of cultural festivities, I strive to convey the true essence of each location with authenticity and depth.
My portfolio spans a diverse range of projects, including film soundtracks, nature documentaries, and immersive audio experiences, in which I have been commissioned as composer, sound recordist, and/or sound designer. Working from my own professionally-equipped studio, I approach each project with a creative vision and can have meaningful and productive conversations with production companies to deliver a bespoke end-products and rich palettes of audio textures to enhance projects.
I have spent several years travelling to diverse landscapes and cultures, meticulously documenting natural and urban soundscapes. As a result I have amassed a vast collection of high-quality audio recordings that span a wide spectrum of environments and atmospheres and that are readily available for purchase.
