I’m currently in Montpellier at KLANG! 2019. It’s an amazing festival taking place at l’Opéra Comédie (salle Molière), in a beautiful city, and with great music. 
Tipping Points at BEAF 2019
My new sound installation Tipping Points recently appeared in the Museum of Ecoacoustic Phenomena event as part of the Bournemouth Emerging Arts Fringe 2019.
Tipping Points is a sound installation that emulates the stable and chaotic behaviours of environmental ecosystems. It features sounds from field recordings made in Dorset, which are manipulated by the computer to mirror the ways in which ecosystem population densities vary, increasing and decreasing in both predictable and erratic ways.
A collection of creative people including Adrian Newton, Marcus Leadley, David Rogers and Laura Reid also performed or presented work over the weekend, which took place at the Bournemouth Natural Science Society on the 4th and 5th May.
Another Museum of Ecoacoustic Phenomena event will take place in Bridport, Dorest in July 2019. More detailas to follow.
Music at BEAST FEaST 2019
It was an honour to have Traces of Play included in the recent BEAST FEaST Festival at University of Birmingham. The concert programme featured many amazing composers, so it was a real privilege to appear alongside them.
New work at BEAF 4/5 May 2019
I’m really excited to be working on the Museum of Ecoacoustic Phenomena at BEAF 2019 with Adrian Newton, Marcus Leadley and David Rogers. I’m developing the installation at this very moment!! Looking forward to setting it up – it will be at BNSS on 4th and 5th May. See flyer below.
Berezan and Blackburn concert at Bournemouth University
Last night (27 March 2019) we welcomed David Berezan to Bournemouth University for a concert of immersive acousmatic music. David played a mixture of his own work and that of Manuela Blackburn. It was a fantastic concert and it was great to have such a rich and coherent programme. Sincere thanks to David for playing here.
In rehearsal…
EMAS at 40
On 25–26 January I attended and presented music at the Electroacoustic Music Association of Great Britain 40th Anniversary, taking place at the University of Greenwich. As well as presenting Traces of Play, it was amazing to hear music across the weekend’s various concerts and to sit in the paper sessions.
And it was great to meet up with so many friends and to be part of this amazing community of composers. Thanks to Adam Stanovic and James Andean of the British Electroacoustic Network and Andrew Hill of University of Greenwich for all their efforts in prganising such a great weekend.
Music at EMAS, London
My piece Traces of Play is on the the programme at EMAS in Greenwich, London on Sunday 26th January.

Traces of Play at Métamorphoses 2018 Competition final
I recently went to Brussels for the final of the 10th Métamorphoses Acousmatic Composition Competition. It was an honour to have my composition Traces of Play included in a final containing works of such a high standard, and it was amazing to take part in the Festival l’Espace du Son, run by Musiques et Recherches. Annette Van de Gorne’s diffusion work was phenomenal!
