music, film & more
I'm a composer, filmmaker, software developer and writer currently based in Wales, UK. I've been working on software and music since mid 2015 and filmmaking and writing since 2019.
I've been on the Internet with a creative mind for a while now, so you may have seen a few things I've done. With my first foray into basic arcade game editing through Sega Rally 2: Music Replacement Mod in 2015-2016, I started the DISE project and created an album. The name Dise came from my first stage name "DJ Paradise" which was shortened for my "original" music. I say original but my real entry into music-making was an iPhone app called Launchpad, developed by Ampify Music which is a subsidiary of Novation, the creators of the actual Launchpad accessory. The app uses a collection of samples, and I produced an album with 14 tracks made entirely from those samples which was released in April 2017. Each track saw how I could manipulate and transpose the samples to create new songs. The Dise project saw 3 more albums, with The Tide (19 tracks) in February 2019, The Album in April 2020, and paraDISE the same year. After the Dise project was done with in 2020 I set out to create completely original music as I was studying music theory at the time. Over 3 years since I've ditched the Dise name, I've been working on a soundtrack for the game Half-Life: Zombies Ate My Neighbours, and I've been able to release two EPs, and two singles. Although I did a few Sky Web EPG albums under my real name, I consider The Tide from 2019 to be the last real album I did and would like to produce another album. Maybe some day.
In 2017 I founded The Phoenix Project Software with Rafael Soares, and we've been making games on the Half-Life 1 engine [call them mods if you will] ever since. The main one we are currently working on is Half-Life: Zombies Ate My Neighbours. We're working with a remote team consisting of members all over Europe, and we are all doing this as pure hobbyists out of the good of our heart - due to this, progression is incredibly slow. We hope to get the game finished by the end of the decade.
In the spring of 2023 I produced, direct & distributed a short film called Dead End. It is nothing to take seriously other than an experiment. I have delisted it from YouTube and it will remain delisted for the time being.
In December 2023, I produced Espionoir alongside a team in affiliation with the local college to help promote their media production course. We took advantage of their available equipment and turned the brief into a passion project.
In 2024 I created Jack Malone's Metallic Menace with DP Cai Rowlands.
