I graduated my BFA at the Victorian College of the Arts in Interactive Composition, at the end of 2013. So this year is a mix of student and professional work. During my degree I also did a variety of music for advertising, and other student film and dance projects. Most of my self directed work was in live art, as I transitioned in to my game audio career.
