THE VOX ALBUM

Over the course of 10 months from June 2016, Josh produced a 9-track album of original a cappella arrangements performed by singers at the University of York. The album spans the entire breadth of the contemporary popular music genre, featuring compositions by artists such as The Jackson 5, James Blake and The Beatles. It also showcases an original composition by London-based a cappella composer, Ben See.

VOX LIVE

Aside from work on the VOX album, Josh worked for two years as musical director of the student a cappella group, coaching the singers toward regular performances and writing countless arrangements. Here are some examples of their live sound, filmed in the Sir Jack Lyons Concert Hall at the University of York.

THIS MUCH I KNOW

In May 2017, Josh embarked on an experimental project that would explore how singing can be used to accompany the spoken word. It features the narration of British choral composer, Richard Shephard, and a text that interweaves assorted Desert Island Discs musings from the likes of Stephen Fry, Mark Rylance and Tom Hanks. The soundtrack is composed, performed and produced entirely by Josh.
