Sound design
I compose soundwalks as a means of deepening
engagement with my environment and for over 20 years have
been using the medium as a tactical and critical
tool in a collective re-imagining of the sonic and human
landscape. My interest is in close observation of our
surroundings, with the aim of exposing the irresistible
processes of change at individual, societal and global
levels. I apply augmented reality in the form of
soundwalks, combining field recordings with archival
material and time-shifting sounds absent from our
contemporary soundscape (with a nod to R. Murray Schafer). |
Teaching
In addition to lecturing on the
interdisciplinary Fine Art course at
Nottingham Trent University for the past two decades,
and running the Masters in Fine Art (MFA) there, I have taught students in Japan, Hungary, Norway, Germany,
Sweden and France. In recent years I have been working
with organisations that support refugees and asylum
seekers, running workshops that use the media of sound
and clay to draw out and enable the sharing of
individual stories.
