Meet our Musicians in Residence

Aphra (She/Her/They/Them)

I work towards bringing the best out of each individual to recognise their own creativity and ability to play and enjoy music. Whatever the skill level, music should be enjoyed as a joyous activity. As a vocal tutor I try to help build people’s confidence and technique to deliver their best performance. I also love songwriting and playing with words.

Carl Cole (He/Him)

I am a performing musician and have played in many bands over the years. Over the last ten years I have been more focused on creating music and sound for films, as well as writing music for other forms, such as theatre, commercial work, and apps. Exploring the connection between science, sound and music has always been fascinating to me, and I spend a lot of time exploring ‘hidden’ sounds and new technology that presents interesting opportunities for sound creation.

Jack Johnson (He/Him)

My artistic practice revolves around my love for creativity. The guitar was my first love and my very first introduction to playing music. I love how the guitar is genre defiant, and incredibly expressive. I teach, develop, and facilitate musical projects, as well as write, record and perform as a guitarist, bass player and drummer.

Ana Joyette Lewis (She/Her)

As an alternate ambient artist, I produce and write songs while experimenting with sounds that influence the process of my recordings and songs. I’ve adopted the theories of creative limitations, where the intention is to let limitations enhance the creative process. I also like to incorporate the techniques of found sound and improvisation into my creative practice and when I’m not writing, recording, or performing my songs, I teach singing, piano and facilitate music workshops.
