He has a PhD in electroacoustic composition from the University of Manchester, which was supervised by David Berezan and funded by the AHRC. Prior to this, he studied composition wth Frank Denyer at Dartington College of Arts and Denis Smalley at City University London. His recent work is characterised by its concern with synthesised sound objects and complex auditory experiences, drawing from his interest in digital synthesis, psychoacoustics and acousmatic theory.
