I am a Reader in Music and Sound Design at the School of Digital Arts (SODA) at Manchester Metropolitan University, where I focus on computational analysis and generation of audio for music production.

I am a music information retrieval researcher, a professional music producer and performer (Jason oS, DAAT), and co-founder of Detuned Transmissions, an artist collaborative and independent record label with international distribution (https://detunedtransmissions.com).

Over the course of my career, I have actively sought out synergies between my music production workflow and academic research, and subsequently embedded this holistic perspective into my teaching and undergraduate/postgraduate supervision activities. My main areas of research centre on ethnographies of breakbeat-orientated UK dance music and computational analysis/generation of audio for music production.
