He has been writing intricate electronic music since 2001, and has released on Toytronic, Benbecula Records, Village Green, Tramworks, Shipwrec, Lapsus, and Mystic and Quantum, in addition to his own Aura Materia imprint.
Stylistically, his music is often highly melodic, described by the NME as being “full of shimmering electronics, crunchy, crispy beats and sweeping melancholic melodies that recall classic electronic stars such as Boards Of Canada,” with “analogue tones and glitchy beats – snatches of classical orchestration are peppered throughout, helping to create rich cinematic soundscapes.”
Ochre has performed live across the UK and Europe, playing at festivals such as Mira, Bloc and Glade. He has collaborated with artists such as Benet Walsh (Mason Bee, The Collectors, Plaid, Leila), and has produced music under the ‘Vellyn’ pseudonym.
Leary occasionally composes music for film and television, and scored the award-winning animated documentary, Centrefold, as well as animator Domareen Fox’s award-winning animated short, Dresslocked.
Outside of his own musical ventures, Leary created the nemp3 cryptocurrency music download store, and operated his independent mastering service, Melograf Mastering, from 2009 to 2020. In 2012 he completed a practice-led PhD in music at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne.

I've been a fan of your music for years now and I still get the chills every time I listen to it. I hope you keep writing music for years to come because I barely listen to anything else.
Ochre
Thanks! Very kind of you.

Whenever I listen to this track, I want to ride city streets at 3am with this gently playing in the car.
This track truly is a journey. Journey to the 4th dimension.

This is amazing, reminds me of Aphex Twin, Kilowatts and Tipper. Excellent stuff... Gonna listen on repeat
