Teaching
I currently lecture at Edinburgh College (Sighthill Campus). Subjects include Performance Technology, Composition Techniques and Orchestration. I also supervise graduate level students.
Over the course of the Performance Technology unit, I introduce students to glitch, soundscape composition, sound design, gesture capture and circuit bending techniques while training them in Max/MSP.
I also work as an ad hoc lecturer at the University of Aberdeen where I have designed and taught several composition courses including: Acousmatic Composition, Glitch Composition and Contemporary Musical Theatre.
