This site exists to archive and host my creative work. Every piece I make will, upon completion, find its way onto the shelves here.
I'm a multidisciplinary artist, working mostly as a musician, sound artist, film composer, and game designer. Ever since my earliest experiences with video games as a child (playing Dragon Quest IX on my Nintendo DS Lite) I've been interested in the separation between games and other media, what they are able to do differently, and the aesthetics of digital, constructed worlds. I want nothing more than to be able to make my own.
Belief in False Idols is the only completed collection of demos written by The Signal Corps, my old emo/post-rock band. It's a loose concept piece themed around my exposure to faith, filtered through the lens of the Church of England growing up in the North-East of the UK, an area with a lot of history with the Church.
Whilst writing this album, I was thinking a lot about the relationship between love and faith, and the idea that creating and maintaining a relationship is essentially a pious act. You enter into a contract with someone who you believe, above all things, will take care of you. That they will love you unconditionally, that they will be ultimately, supremely, kind to you. The EP is about that very specific form of faith, and the way it can be unravelled and recontexualised in the wake of being directed at a real, non-divine human being. It is about putting people on pedestals, and then having them be forcefully kicked off of them.
It never got finished, the band broke up well before we were able to record the songs in a studio. I am still very proud of it.
