I am excited to accept the position of Musician in Residence aboard HMS Protector in the upcoming Antarctic season. A huge debt of gratitude is due to Friends of the Scott Polar Research Institute and The Royal Navy for making this incredible opportunity possible.

I will join the crew of Protector in early January and will be stationed in and around Antarctica until mid-March. During my time I will gather a range of field recordings and begin the process of creating new works that will be closely related to earlier residencies with the European Marine Board and the Ocean ARTic Partnership. It is envisaged that this will feed into a comprehensive release of my polar related works from 2020 - 2024. And it is hoped that a number of live performances, both solo and with the Black Glass Ensemble will follow.
