He holds a BSc in Astronomy and a Masters degree in Computer-Music. He worked at the Jodrell Bank Radio Observatory in Radio Astrophysics, and created new courses in Electronic Music at Glasgow University. He has contributed to the Acoustic Space Lab network in Latvia, Makrolab, AmbientTV and Nesta/PAL workshops, providing links between technology, science and the arts.
He is currently developing an Acoustic Cosmology.
