An experienced DJ, Flexagon is also a music producer, sound engineer and composer.
Much of Flexagon’s recent music is location-orientated and focussed on unique settings. His latest album Towers 1: Inaccessible was released in February 2023 alongside a headline show at St. James Concert Hall. Towers I is part of his ongoing Towers project inspired by the fortifications, structures and architecture of his island home.
As a DJ, Flexagon is known for his long eclectic and psychedelic sets spanning multiple genres. Upbeat dub, house, techno, disco and psytrance are all up for grabs. Learning his craft as a club DJ in the mid-90s provided years of experience playing varied sets of music to mixed crowds. Around this time he fell into the world of Goa and psytrance parties as a punter at first and then as a DJ. This psychedelic music was the ideal afterhours alternative to clubland at that time. In Guernsey, this is the style of music Flexagon continues to be best known for. Whatever genre he plays, however, expect to dance!
An active member of Guernsey’s varied music and festival scene, Flexagon is no stranger to playing in the UK. He has performed DJ sets at Noisily Festival, Triplicity, Inertia, Elemental Productions and Psyberdelica, and regularly played long DJ sets at London’s sadly now defunct InSpiral Lounge in Camden.
As a producer, Flexagon’s music was originally rooted in psybient and psytrance. But it has become increasingly esoteric and wide-ranging, moving into ambient, downtempo and experimental minimal realms. Along with this has come the opportunity to compose for orchestral ensembles. His first piece scored for nine string players and piano had its premiere performance in 2018. Further ensemble works are due to be performed in 2026 and 2027 as part of his collaborations with David Le Page and The Samphire Ensemble.
‘Lost In Nature’ is an exhibition of Guernsey and Sark landscape paintings, opening at the end of April 2026 at Guernsey Museum. The exhibition features a specially commissioned Flexagon ambient soundtrack and includes field recordings at the locations depicted by the artworks in the exhibition.
Flexagon’s album 7 Nocturnes East is a series of ambient and found sound pieces. All inspired by and using location recordings of Guernsey places at night, the album was released in January 2020. Supported by the Guernsey Arts Commission, 7 Nocturnes East had an accompanying visual and video art exhibition featuring the work of seven artists at The Greenhouse, Guernsey Museum, Candie Gardens, Guernsey – more info here.
His work with the band Lihou led to releasing Un Vert Bocage, a modern arrangement of a traditional Guernsey song.
Part of the Polar Sounds project, Flexagon’s track PALAOA dreams was made from and inspired by the sounds of Antarctic sea ice moving against each other, recorded at the remote PALAOA underwater acoustic observatory.
Flexagon has also released his own electronic arrangements of two minimal classics – Arvo Pärt’s Spiegel im Spiegel, and Opening from Glassworks by Phillip Glass.
Flexagon’s work with other musicians and music creators includes remixes of work by Children of the Bong, Continuum, Sephira, Blakalaska, Tantale and Buffalo Huddleston. The song Drifting (Into the Light), written and released in collaboration with Mike Mienke of Buffalo Huddleston, had airplay on BBC Radio 1 and BBC 6 Music.
