I am excited to be offered a commission by Metal to create a sound-based augmented reality tour in Chalkwell Park in Southend on Sea as part of the NetPark project.
The work will draw from psychogeographic attributes of specific locations in the park to create a fictitious narrative on locative media. To be launched in Sept 2015, more details to follow.
Live Wednesdays 11pm GMT and Saturdays 4am GMT on resonance 104,4fm London or www.resonancefm.com worldwide
Two turntables, three CD players, the www, a bag full of MP3s and some serious cacophonic intent.

I will be giving a presentation for the charity Liquid Vibrations at the Challenging Circumstance Network Conference
‘Music, creativity and innovation in challenging settings’ will bring together a broad spectrum of practitioners, music professionals and entrepreneurs. Organised by Sound Connections Wednesday, 19 November 2014 from 09:45 to 17:00 at Toynbee Hall, London
I will be playing a live abstract mash up and presenting A History of Sound Art (arranged by Milo Taylor, commissioned by Newtoy) at this year’s edition of Sound Around Festival in Kaliningrad , Russia, on the 18th April 2014. 
I co-founded Liquid Vibrations with Adele Drake, former CEO of Drake Music, in 2010, we are a charity that promotes underwater listening sessions for children with special needs at hydrotherapy pools. We work with Watsu practitioner Steve Karle to facilitate the best relaxing listening positions.
The sessions are also observed and researched by Angela Voyajolu monitored by Prof. Adam Ockleford of the Applied Music Centre at Roehampton University. We have been supported by the Institute of Education and the Sounds of Intent programme in particular.
To date we have done sessions in:
2010, 2011: St Nicholas School in Canterbury. Supported by the Henry Smith Foundation
2013: The Redway School in Milton Keynes. Supported by SEMPRE and The Milton Keynes Foundation
2014: The Bridge Primary School in Camden. Supported by Sound Connections
We have seen excellent responses from the children, their carers and teachers and the schools. This positive feedback is encouraging us to continue. For more details or to see how you can help www.liquidvibrations.org.uk
I will be presenting my paper Some Perspectives on Augmented Reality Theatre at the Locus Sonus’ Symposium #8: Audio Mobility on the 16th April 2014. Schools of Arts Aix en Provence & Bourges, France.
