I often collaborate with contemporary classical music performers, composers, and organisations, on recording their performances, in studio and live, and on making moving image or visual art work for their concerts and albums.
These collaborations include contemporary chamber instrumentalists GBSR Duo, George Barton (percussion) and Siwan Rhys (piano), Contemporary Music for All (CoMA), a participatory new music organisation and composers Olly Sellwood, Uri Agnon, Aaron Holloway-Nahum, Franklyn Oliver, Fraz Ireland, and others.
When filming, I aim to convey the nature of the performed piece though focusing on the interaction between the performers, the minute gestures, gentle nods, intense beats – the body language thus becoming an equal partner in the music piece.
During the editing process, I often crop, overlap, mirror and multiply video frames and destablise the image to emphasise key motifs of different renditions and break up the traditional linear visual documentary narrative.

Trios, Morton Feldman, performed by GBSR Duo and Taylor MacLennan
I designed a box set CD cover for GBSR Duo’s recording of Morton Feldman’s works that they performed together with flutist Taylor MacLennan. The box set was published by Another Timbre.

For March, I was commissioned by the composer Uri Agnon and CoMA (Contemporary Music for All). I recorded and edited the performance of Uri’s piece “March” in the Southbank Centre in July 2025.

CoMA Bespoke, CoMA
I collaborated with CoMA (Contemporary Music for All) and composer Matthew Shlomowitz on recording and editing their event CoMA Bespoke that took place in London in June 2025. The event brought together three orchestras, led by three young composers, Franklyn Oliver, Uri Agnon and Fraz Ireland and and premiered many new pieces.
