What I Do

I used to make drum and bass, but got fed up spending upwards of £100 on plugins I would use for 20 minutes, then leave in my plugins folder.

This led me to create my own solutions using Plugdata, a free alternative to Max for Live. I love the weird and wonderful, and specialise in spectral processing and post-processing tools.
