Here you can find a bit more about me, and a more in-depth look at my research and the ideas shaping it. With Spring making site visits more feasible, I’ll be sharing more regular reflections and updates as the project develops.

Join me to discuss whether fogous were used for sound-based rituals. I will present a recorded performance in Carn Euny fogou, examining how repetitive music might evoke altered consciousness in these magical spaces.

I’m creating sound art within Cornwall’s underground heritage - mines and fogous - to reveal layers of Cornish identity. Through community voices, I aim to amplify hidden stories and empower marginalised groups. These spaces hold untapped power to shape and reflect who we are.

My research uses sound art to explore Cornwall’s unique cultural landscape. If you’re drawn to heritage, soundscapes, or exploring hidden histories, I’d love to connect, share ideas, and learn from each other. Here’s to discovering the resonance of Cornwall’s underground.
