Highlights from 2025. A real mix of bespoke composition, personal releases, placements, installations, production music, guest lectures, panel talks, awards and sound design.
One frozen second captured by multimedia artists Christie Lau and Edmund Fraser. 'Memory' sees raw, unapologetic, frozen choreography from Ethan Jacobs and BEX3 with my immersive sound design and music provide by myself. Using Gaussian Splat technology, AI and traditional 3D methodology, a singular moment is twisted and blurred as if the viewer is waking from a dream.
The work was projected onto the walls of the exhibition space for a truly immersive experience.

For Dr. Romain Pizzi, a wildlife veterinary surgeon, he spent so much time worrying about all the things that could go wrong as he performed critical surgery in difficult locations with some of the world’s most dangerous and traumatized animals.

New in FX Collection 6 Pro Tape J-37 captures the legendary Studer J37 tape machine in unprecedented detail, allowing you to add high-end tape collaboration to your mix in seconds, and process it with advanced controls.
In collaboration with Arturia I wrote a short piece using their amazing J37 Studer tape machine emulation to demonstrate its warmth and detail.
The brief was to start with no tape and bring it in after a few seconds to demonstrate the lush effect is has on the mix.

HUMAN KIND - Varvara Liakounakou
Kato Kosmos Studio - Athens
Human kind is a sculptural, audible and sensory installation.
Varvara Liakounakou is a figurative painter,
whos characters embrace and merge to one.
Most of her themes are around intimacy, connection and a momentary existence.
In Human Kind she will be showing, for the first time, sculptures expressing a more collective feeling, a collection of voices.
Made entirely from waste materials, Varvara, Artsct Initiative and Kato Kosmos Studio will collaborate on this exciting exploration of Kindness and it’s many, many forms.
We are individualy living in a world that is changing,
Climate, politics, extreme ideologies and society is reaching us all.
Fear, joy, pain, love.
How we ride the waves together is how we bring order to the chaos.
The sculptures are made out of recycled plastic. Humans are consuming their garbage, the toxicity and ‘becoming’ it. We are what we eat is a famous proverb for a reason.
Maybe the answer could be found in the kindness of human nature, in their kindness to each other.
Many thanks to our sound composer Andrew Beaton, Athens, ArtSect, Katos Kosmos Studio and everyone who has helped.
