"I use improvisation as a starting point to explore and construct new work. In this framework I am able to develop and play with ideas without the creative process becoming stale. The groundwork that improvisation provides forms an outline for my interests into notions of memory, real and imagined landscapes, and the hidden histories and narratives our everyday lives create. It is within these details of place (real and imagined) and memory that I have tried to reflect what it is to map and re-map these spaces, through the use of music."
