About me

I'm a musician and sound designer currently based in tokyo. Working under the name NINGEN, I explore the boundaries that separate us and the technology that mediates the liminal spaces we occupy.

In the past I have performed as a regular member of John Richards' "Dirty Electronics Ensemble" and with Chris Carter (Throbbing Gristle, Carter Tutti) and Anna Meredith. More recently I've worked with Cody Ellingham to produce music for his DERIVE project.

I'm also a photographer and explore similar themes as with my music.

  5. Experiments in Audio Reactive Video

    2 December 2019

    I've been experimenting with using Maxmsp and Jitter to create video that augments my recent music. It's been quite a learning curve, not helped by Max 10's instability. However, I've had some interesting results already.
