For seventeen years he worked in various text-sound combinations with Sianed Jones, including Slant (with Phillip Jeck). He taught performance writing at Dartington College of Arts during which time he made a substantive body of performance writing with Kirsten Lavers under the moniker TNWK (things not worth keeping). Since then he's been making and showing works in spoken and projected text-sound, such as Impluperfections and b a c k l i t.
