I am an essayist and short story writer. I spent much of my youth in the alpine valleys of Switzerland and the hinterland of Ceredigion in Wales. After training as a violinist and studying film, I worked for a long period as a composer, sound designer and university lecturer. I published my first book The Noon Bell in 2016, and Quiet Cinema shortly after, and since then I've been writing essays on the poetics of cinema, music, philosophy and sound, and the aesthetics of audio dynamics, sonority and resonance.
