The start of March 2026 will see the opening of a four room exhibition by artist group Superflux, The Craftocene, for which I am composing a series of sound scores, spatial sound pieces and a film soundtrack.

Very pleased to announce that tickets are now on sale for Still the Hours, a new piece I’ve been working on over the last six months with the excellent writer and director Claire Doherty. It’s an extraordinary and beautifully wrought piece, that encompasses an in depth exploration of binaural sound recording techniques, spatial site-specific sound and promenade art.
The piece runs from 19 March to Sunday 30 March 2025 and takes place after dark at Hampton Court Palace, London.
Tickets are very limited, and available here.
Still The Hours is an audio-led journey through Hampton Court Palace after hours. Conceived from the stories of women who lived or worked in the palace from 1541 to 1925, the promenade experience blends binaural audio with site-specific spatial sound across the palace’s rooms.
Produced in the centenary year of Virginia Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway, Still The Hours is inspired by the novel’s exploration of time as both linear and circular. It is said that though the palace’s astronomical clock has functioned to mark the passage of time over 500 years, on certain occasions the clock has paused or stuttered, as if within the palace gates, time is unreliable.
Featuring the voices of Kathryn Hunter (Black Doves, Harry Potter, Poor Things), Miranda Richardson (Good Omens, The Hours), and Ayesha Dharker (The Father), alongside an ensemble cast of established and emerging actors, students from the Rose Youth Theatre and staff at Hampton Court Palace, Still The Hours listens in to women’s lives at the palace, their struggles for survival, their triumphs and losses over five centuries.
'George III: The Man Behind the Myth' exhibition score at Kew Palace
A recent composition project that has just seen the light of day is a four room spatial soundtrack for the top floors of the Kew Palace exhibition George III: The Mind Behind the Myth. The composition is based on George Frideric Handel’s Keyboard suite in D minor ( HWV 437), which was a favourite of King George III. The work for Kew Palace unfolds across four rooms, with the audience progressing through the composition as they move through the exhibition.
