Tube V (2026)
Field recording / sound art / EP
A five-track, 12-minute EP built from field recordings made on the London Underground, woven with voice and ambient composition. Each track captures a specific moment and emotional state from the time of recording — the texture of tunnels, the rhythm of transit, the strangely natural quality of underground air.
Tube V finds the organic inside the industrial, and the personal inside the public.
Featured on BBC Radio 3 Late Junction.

E Q U I N O X (2025)
Live performance / composed work
A triptych of seasonal poems by Jon Robbins, realised for flute, cello, drone, field recording samples, and voice.
Performed live on the autumn equinox, the three movements — Spring, Summer, Winter — trace a journey through growth, suffering, and the slow return toward balance.
Summer carries the emotional weight of years of pain from a severe injury; Winter arrives as resolution. 'All things are equal now.'
Performed at The Culture Co, Leighton Buzzard, 21 September 2025.

Harringay Green Lanes (2026)
Field recording / sound art
A sonic portrait of one of London's most culturally layered high streets — shop shutters, multilingual conversation, bus rhythms, the scrape of trolleys on pavement.
As the soundscape gradually breaks into something more musical, an elderly resident describes witnessing a World War II bombing on this street.
Then the present reasserts itself: a shopkeeper asks if you'd like a bag, a dog barks, life continues. The two worlds coexist, woven together in the same place.
This is the social moment the piece captures, not an event, but a collective condition: the precious fragility of everyday life.

XII Trees (in development)
Field recording / sound art / video / photography
A study of twelve urban trees: the overlooked, the damaged, the absurd, and the beautiful and sublime: trees strung with lights, wrapped in graffiti, islanded on busy roads, trailing plastic bags from their branches.
For each tree, a short piece is created from field recordings made on site, voice, video, and photography, channelling what each tree speaks: its situation, its resilience, the emotional response it draws from the encounter.
Together the twelve pieces form a portrait of our disconnection from the natural world, and our attempt to reconnect with it.
Currently in development.

Rise of the Crone (2026)
