He currently resides in Den Haag, The Netherlands.[1] Leary also holds a Master's degree in music.
Ochre has had his music licensed for use in computer games, such as Sony's LittleBigPlanet 2,[2] Psyonix's Whizzle, and Euclidean Crisis.[citation needed] Leary has also composed music for the animated documentary Centrefold, and has produced music for commercial projects by Google, Skoda, and Orange.[citation needed]
