Work for cello, percussion, contra bassoon and cherbulum commissioned for Instal in collaboration with Paragon
A temporary archive and research space tracing the ways in which sound and audition move through everyday life.
A bodiless treatise on narration, bored speakers, audience misbehaviour and police megaphones, but: is anybody listening?
Can a musician create a sonic photograph; something with a depth of field, where you can hear sounds and their interconnections, much as you see objects and their relationships in a photo? Could a filmmaker use musical concepts to represent landscape?
Guitar solo where inscrutable, minute electric sounds are excavated by palms that smother and strangle, that wring sound from the fretboard, from behind the bridge.
Film and sound stripped of ‘content’ and experienced spatially, to be looked at not on the screen but in the space of the gallery
An event exploring anarchic and communal situations of musical creation with MV, EE and The Cherry Blossoms.

A trance inducing, flickering investigation of structural and minimalist droning from one of the key thinkers in sound and image over the last 50 years
An audio report for the NATOarts board of directors that seeks to promote global security and stability through the exhibition of works of conceptual art.
