Live audio/visual set at Hackney Film Festival 15th September

I’m honored to be invited back to the Hackney Film Festival for its second year running, and it’s exciting to have the opportunity to showcase brand new material for the first time on the festival’s opening night. I’ll be performing a 45 minute audio/visual set that combines my musical compositions with synchronised visuals. There’s no sneak peek yet, but expect videos to be posted here shortly after the event.

Aurora #02

Aurora (SR-91 Aurora) is the popular name for a hypothesised United States reconnaissance aircraft, alleged to be capable of flying at speeds exceeding Mach-5.

The Aurora was supposedly developed in the mid-1980s as a replacement for the SR-71 Blackbird.

There is lacking substantial evidence of the existence of this ‘Black Project’ despite speculation and sighting claims from British and US sources.
