All work and no play etc etc. Look, I’d love to share a link to that children’s book I’ve written. And the podcast series I casually recorded with a few friends that went super viral (watch this space). But they’re all imminent works in progress.

So this page is dedicated to other things I’ve done and enjoy doing outside of work.

Prior to entering the world of advertising, I was writing music reviews for a street press, managing a guitar store, playing in a band, and writing songs and short film scores. Once in adland, I needed an excuse to use all my gear. So I started recording radio demos, casting myself and whoever else was keen in the creative department. That followed, surprisingly, to other VO work, and even writing and recording music to accompany the odd TV spot.

So here’s a bit of a selection. I’ll add in some non-audio bits down the track.


Voice overs

It was always easier to sell in a radio/audio concept if you had a demo to play. So here’s a few of those, including some spots that ran as is with me as the VO.

Tunes from the band days, and a snippet of solo material recorded at my humble home studio.


AI

The AI bandwagon’s pulled in to everyone’s town and folio by now. I’m an avid dabbler and explorer of AI visual tools, but have gone deeper into the audio and speech areas.

My interest really took hold after helping to curate and stage an AI-focused exhibition at Sydney’s Powerhouse Museum. The highlight was putting on a world first - a live radio play that was also written live by AI, co-starring an AI-voiced character, with a soundscape composed by AI, and the play’s artwork created by AI. All done in real-time in front of a few hundred people.

Currently, I’m co-producing and writing a podcast series which may or may not include AI production elements and plot threads.
