Chronology of Works

I’ve been releasing music since 1998, beginning with cassettes. Between 2002 and 2012 I ran Quiet Records, releasing my own music and occasionally other people's work on CDr. Since then my practice has expanded into sound art, installations, web-based work and research. This is a selective chronology of that activity. It isn't exhaustive, but covers the work that made it into the public domain. I’ve left out many external links, as so many are now history but where a work still exists on this site or can be reliably linked to, I’ve linked to it.

As I update this page in 2026, I can see that a slowdown in activity became inevitable as I started a family and my research came to an end — “Life is what happens while you’re busy making other plans.”
