Harry followed in his father’s footsteps, obtaining his love for music from a young age. Beginning with guitar, he quickly moved on to other instruments, and eventually into the world of music production. With his family's taste spanning from J. J. Cale to Genesis to Billy Joel, and his own discovery of the range of electronic music in teenage years, he gained an appreciation for the art of music production. He studied Music Production at The Academy of Contemporary Music, where he learned skills in writing music for film or video games, sound design and live sound engineering.
He moved on to start working at Strode Theatre where he's learnt all aspects of live theatre production while applying skills from previous years of music. The most recent project - Pantomime - saw him set up show control with projection, video wall and lighting using QLAB.
Other show control systems he has used in the past see use of intricate Ableton Live MIDI and audio setups to run shows.
He is involved in many local events - volunteering at Glastonbury Festival and seeing how the team is run, to AV operation at the Glastonbury Symposium, which includes camera operation, vision mixing and directing.
He also run a small studio space in the heart of Somerset with his sister - a place to write and record his own or others music; develop artists; record voiceovers and much more.
