Overview

In August 2022 I undertook a week long residency in the Britten Studio at Snape Maltings, Britten Pears Arts. Spending an entire week spent writing and playing music with incredible musicians; Samuel Hollis on Bass and Ben Hunt on Drums.

Throughout the week I got to know my way around my DIY synth PULSAR, and dive deeper into my experiments with Ableton and considering how I want to transition my studio based practice to an on-stage one.

This track Vela was written and recorded live in the Britten Studio, Snape Maltings and shows a snap shot of what we achieved through the residency.
