My latest work is part of a collaborative performance event in Warrington on November the 2nd. At the Edge of Darkness is a 2 hour event which is part of Warrington Contemporary Arts Festival.

My work is an audio installation for headphones which is partly a response to one of Anna Barbauld’s poems, as well as a response to the writing and work of the other artists taking part, and the environment – Warrington Art Gallery and Museum.

I Performed live on NTSlive radio station, London on the 12th July, performing Sounds from the Studio (2013) and was interviewed by Graham Dunning whose Soundart radio show Fractal Meat on a Spongy Bone goes out between 8-10am every other Friday. I had a great time, and you can hear the show on the NTSlive website now.

On Friday morning i will be playing live during Soundart radio show Fractal Meat on a Spongy Bone – to listen go to: http://ntslive.co.uk/shows/fractalmeat/

I will be performing live on the internet radio show Fractal Meat on a Spongy Bone, from London on Friday July 12th. I will be performing a shortened re-mixed version of my light Night audio installation piece – newly titled – ‘Sounds from the studio’.  More information on where to listen coming soon.

I am currently working on  a couple of projects. the last post talked about experiments with recording paper and the sounds made by tearing and scrunching paper. This is an ongoing collaborative project with Pat Hodson and Liz Cashdan – we are at the very beginning of this project so more about that in later posts.

The other project I am currently working on is for a submission to a collaborative project called ‘The Book of Disquiet’ – and here is some work in progress for this submission.
