I’m Colin — a multi-modal musician, improviser, and creative technologist working with sound, code, and lived complexity.

My work lives in the tension between structure and emergence, logic and feel, noise and signal. It moves between disciplines without seeking to unify them — more rhizome than roadmap, more patchwork than product. I’m less interested in explaining systems than in participating with them: listening, adapting, interfering, making sense in motion.

Philosophically, I’m drawn to affect, pattern, and transformation — to how things come to matter, and how attention shifts what’s possible. This has led me through music theory and machine learning, speculative design and football tactics, Deleuze & Guattari and newborn care 👶 (which might actually be the most radical complexity lab of all).

Right now I’m exploring:

• 🎼 Generative composition grounded in species counterpoint, jazz logic, and feedback
• 🧠 Co-creative tools that support voice, neurodivergence, and embodied expression
• 🌈 Visual-sonic mappings that blur the line between perception and modulation
• 🌍 Collective sensemaking infrastructures like MassSense and the Cynefin framework
• 📡 The poetics of interference — sonically, socially, personally

This blog is an open process: part sketchbook 📝, part field report 🗺️, part improvisation 🎷.
It’s where ideas gather, glitch, and sometimes harmonise.

Thanks for listening. Let’s stay in the noise.
