The clients I've worked with include Netflix, A24, BBC, Google, HBO, The New York Times, Dr Who and The National Trust, to name a few. But it all started with a 4 track Fostex tape machine back in 1994.

 

The first real success I had in a band was with Wauvenfold  (Wichita Records) circa 2000 / 2002 (here's a Pitchfork review). During our time together we did a session with John Peel on Radio One, opened the Baltic Centre live in Gateshead, played the VA Museum and did a few remixes for The Super Furry Animals. We even got word, during a live set on Radio 3, that Bjork was a fan, which was nice! 

​

For a period of time after that I taught music technology at Confetti Institute of Creative Technologies in Nottingham where I obtained a teaching qualification in further education. During my time there I taught Logic Pro, Cubase, Reason, Ableton Live, scoring to picture and live sound. 

​

I went solo in 2007, under the name Origamibiro and released my debut record, Cracked Mirrors & Stopped Clocks on Expanding Records. That got picked up by a few film makers who asked to use various tracks for films. My career in scoring for film kind of spiralled from there. 

​

Origamibiro went on to sign with Denovali Records and became a multi-media live performance act, enlisting double bassist Andy Tytherleigh and visual artist Jim Boxall to the mix. Together, we went on to tour Europe for a couple of years and released a total of 5 albums. NME described our live show as:

 

"Beautiful, Four Tet-esque ripples of melody, rhythms generated from loops, paper scrunches and the click-clack of typewriter keys – and a live video feed splicing all this together into a mesmerising visual backdrop. You can’t help but be impressed by Origamibiro’s audio-visual mechanics. A revelation."

​

Though it's now returned back to a solo project for me, Andy remains a strong collaborator and appears on both my last Village Green album, Grains of Space, and my latest Origamibiro album, Miscellany. 

​

It wasn't until 2017 that I began releasing under my own name on Village Green Recordings with the album, Asylum For Eve, which is a mixture of soundtrack work and new material. Music from that album got used for a number of films, including trailers for A24 and Netflix.
