Most of my work has been an attempt to integrate visual and sonic material. Over the last thirty years I have worked with choreographers, theatre designers, and visual artists to make multi-media performance works. In my recent work, I have been doing the visual part myself, making sound sculpture and video.

My sound sculpture is an investigation of the relationship between how objects look and how they sound. First I design and build highly resonant structures then I compose electroacoustic music to be played through the structures. My video work is of two kinds - installation and performance.

The installation pieces are multi-monitor works which are like slowly evolving paintings with electronic sound. The performance videos usually have one or more live musicians interacting with the video, either projected when in large spaces or on a monitor when in small spaces.

I have been teaching electroacoustics at the Ontario College of Art and Design for 18 years and live in London Ontario with my wife Susan Davies (a psychologist who acts as my personal brain care specialist) and children Anna and Simon (who often perform my music for me and also act as roadies).
