Birmingham School Modular Techno

“Fully mobilised on the rhythm front, but organic and variable in its curvy interlocking.” the Brooklyn Rail.

Leon is an audiovisual artist regularly gigging in the UK and Europe. He has a history of doing visuals at many festivals including Shambala, Glastonbury, Moseley Folk, The Big Chill and Maschina Bristronica. He is a resident VJ for House of God, The Acid Morris & Freerotation. His music has developed around the use of tech that pairs up with those visuals, over the past few years with modular synths, and he takes sonic journeys through low drones and floor smashing rhythms. In 2022 he supported Regis, Suzanne Ciani, Sote, Steve Davis, Graham Dunning amongst others…

Leon has always been involved in starting and running grassroots music projects like Jigsawmusic, 8bit Lounge, Birmingham Modular Organisation and most recently Swimming with Gravitational Waves that has taken place in Moseley Road Baths, The Arlington Baths and Pickaquoy centre, Orkney. He has worked for nearly ten years on his Gravity Synth project, even bouncing the sounds of the synth off the surface of the moon from inside Abbey Road Studios & appeared on the BBC World Service live. He is an honorary research Associate in the school of physics & astronomy at University of Birmingham.
