Finding the sounds in-between the sounds
I’m a self trained sound artist from a working class background engaging in deep listening to the unheard/under heard.
Over three decades of using field recordings in music and commercial work, including creating sonic landscapes and atmospheres for radio drama, TV and Film, that microphone mediated practice has opened a portal to an emerging curious and compassionate listening practice.
By engaging listening as an act of connection, solidarity, noticing and resistance, my practice offers a model for socially engaged sound art that goes beyond documentation to create spaces for dialogue, play, recognition, weirdness, mess, the power of not knowing and hope.
I brings decades of curiously attuned ears to workshops with a wide range of participants and believe strongly in the power that listening holds to bring about meaningful change.
My compositional approach is exploratory and instinctive, focussed on timbral shaping, and finding the sounds in between the sounds.
