I write music and make things.

At present:
Design in Innovation Ecosystem at Innovate UK / Soft solo music / Loud guitar and shouting in Crash of Rhinos / a music royalties startup called TrackShift

…and since lockdown-breakdown I have completely overhauled my internal sense of value and my life, mental health and sense of purpose is so much better for it.

There are many more important notions of value than the monetary one, but they are harder to measure. But maybe they just need to be felt.

For example: mental health, privacy, stability, independence, sleep, family.

I say this because I’ve always found it hard to articulate why I am a composer but that composer is not always my job. Or hardly ever a full time job.
