Sound Design - Composition - Production

Current Activity

Wild Garsdale Pike

I am currently working as sound designer for a research project organised by Wild Garsdale Pike and funded by the University of Cumbria. The project will use academic literature to inform the production of a set of five short videos depicting the natural features of Garsdale Pike with beautiful and intimate photography from  Cain Scrimbeour of Wild Intrigue, and hyper-realistic sound design.  These videos will be used to research whether audio-visual stimuli can be used to elicit similar beneficial effects to those gained from being in nature in person.

July - August 2021

Sound design, voice over recording and mixing for a mission statement animation video for the Hoveton Great Broad Restoration Project, a part of Natural England.  Directed and animated by Belle Mellor.

I was particularly pleased to work on this as it combines both of my areas of interest; sound and conservation.
