Kieran is an composer, field recordist and PhD researcher based in Cardiff, South Wales. 

With his entrance to music originating through the guitar and playing in various metal and hardcore bands in his teens, Kieran began to experiment with electronic sound and music for film during his undergraduate degree, where he began scoring short films and documentaries.

In 2019, Kieran enrolled on a MA degree, where he specialised in film composition and creative music practices, concluding the postgraduate degree with the electronic & orchestral album What We’ll Miss Most (2021)

 

After completing the MA degree, Kieran continued writing for film, scoring his first feature film as well as other award winning short films and documentaries including Scratch (2019) & Cheer (2018) which was nominated for a plethora of awards as well as being reviewed by VICE (2019). 

​

In 2022, Kieran began his PhD research exploring the compositional and philosophical framework of  ‘sonic hauntology’, a particular approach for composition that draws from memory, traces of the past and techniques such as sampling, field recordings through conceptual writing and soundtracks.
