I am a student of Sound for the Moving Image at the Glasgow School of Art. My practice includes moving image, sound design, and sound for games. I am interested in how sound can shape our experience of space, emotion and memory.

Echoes Along the River of Dreams is an interactive game project exploring the relationship between sound, dreams, memory and perception. The experience takes the player through a series of dream-like spaces, where sound plays an important role in shaping the atmosphere and the experience of each environment. Through environmental sound, music, voices and moments of silence, the project explores how sound can influence emotion, create a sense of space, and blur the boundary between memory, dreams and reality.
