Light Music is a dizzying celebration of the pivotal nature of sound in film; a direct and powerful transcription of film as sound.
French improviser, composer, writer & musical thinker of dry humour and elegant clarity. Sly conjurer of music from the unconsidered processes of music making.

Dub is strange. A conversation with Edward George and Dhanveer Brar.
A sound diffusion piece by Glasgow University’s Musica Electronica, and a further selection of electroacoustic performances.
