albums and eps

I’m a musician first and foremost, and I’ve been writing and recording original music since the early 2010s. Over that time I've developed a distinctive style that takes inspiration from a wide variety of genres, including progressive rock, electronic dance music, 20th century classical, plunderphonics, jazz fusion, industrial music, and many more. From 2016 onwards I have explored these idioms through a series of albums and EPs, independently released on my Bandcamp page and comprising both instrumental compositions and sung songs. The lyrics for the songs are just as syncretic as the music, covering themes ranging from intense personal reflection and motivational affirmations to historical/fictional narratives and gleeful celebrations of the weirder side of life. In many ways these albums are like diaries, snapshots of the person I was and the life I was living at the time of writing - and while I can't always claim communion with the younger me's that my discography has preserved, I wouldn't be the musician I am today if it wasn't for their hard work. Thanks, Past Matties!

I've been doodling for as long as I can remember, and I've been an avid creator of digital art since 2015, but this art - often of the toony, furry, transformation-y and expansion-y variety - was something I tended to keep private. However, following the 2024 release of my furry-themed album Cattie! I've become more comfortable sharing my art with the wider world, and more confident treating it as another part of my creative output just as worthy of public exhibition as my music and gamedev work. No shame in letting my freak flag fly at full mast!

Game development is one of my other main creative passions, primarily encompassing the fields of level/environment design but also incorporating other related disciplines. I first took an interest in gamedev with early experiments in the likes of Game Maker and the Tomb Raider Level Editor, but since 2010 most of my endeavours have involved making custom maps in the Source engine (and Source 2 since 2020). Many of these maps have taken inspiration from fond memories of my upbringing in London and sustained interest in the capital up to the present day, but I’ve also tried my hand at science fiction scenes and abstract psychedelic environments. Perhaps one day these efforts will fully coalesce into a standalone game of their own...

team fortress 2 / open fortress

Much of my Source engine experience in the late 2010s and early 2020s involved making maps and other related assets as part of the fan community for Team Fortress 2, the first-person shooter game by Valve Software, and as part of the development team for Open Fortress, an unofficial TF2 modification that adds new features to the base game.

Here's some other things that I've created or otherwise been involved in over the years:

video editing

Although not as regular an endeavour as my music and gamedev work, I'm a dab hand at video editing when the situation calls for it:
