Syrinx I
Syrinx I (2026) is an octophonic composition commissioned by Sonic Acts Biennial. Syrinx I centres on the black-legged kittiwake: its sharp, circling calls reimagined through overblown duck-call whistles and synthesised timbres. After time spent in Tromsø, Norway, watching and recording the endangered birds, Davis began building a parallel sound-world – less documentation than transformation. The piece grows from this fieldwork, translating avian voice into an expanded, imaginary ecology. The work was created during Sonic Acts’ Spatial Sound Residency, supported by the Creative Industries Fund NL, Amsterdam Fund for the Arts, Cultuurloket DigitALL, Mondriaan Fund, and is part of New Perspectives for Action, a project by Re-Imagine Europe, co-funded by the European Union.

Broadcast Works
I’ve been making radio since 2012. I made it through a few years of weekly programs but since 2018 I’ve been broadcasting a monthly (well in recent years, bi-monthly) on Cashmere Radio called Deep Puddle.
In 2022 I partcipated in a moderated conversation with George Lewis and performed a score for table and laptop as part of MärzMusik. The recording can be heard here.
A Bisl Jiddischer Radyo (2020) is a feature on Yiddish radio art and dadaist poetry, produced for Cashmere Radio’s programme at Lehbachhaus in München.
Invisible to My Ear (2019) is a radio work produced for Cashmere Radio’s collaboration with Wolf-Kino about moments of cinematic silence. How does silence function as a dramaturgical element when stripped of visual context? Using citations from films ranging from The Wizard of Oz (1939), Psycho (1960), and The Conversation(1974), the piece investigates silence as a character and what can bring to sonic storytelling.
The Theatre of the Cosmic Egg present: Kryogenic Christ (2019) is a radioplay made in collaboration with Punished Abbot, presenting a melange of cinematic, literary and musical selections on the topics of snow and cold.
Here’s a selection of guest mixes and radio shows I’ve done for other stations over the years:
