Check out my photos..
In the pics section you will find photographs of my art work, these have been created by resonating different mediums with a controlled sound wave. The various frequencies behave in unique ways to move the pigment around the surface, leaving a mark of its journey. The C13 installation, combined this method with a multi-sensory experience. Each box (soundcast) represents a certain note that plays out into the space, all six boxes combine to make a chord C13th. As you move around the room the chord will slightly change depending which of the six boxes you are closest too. This chord then chimes every minute and fades to silence allowing the natural ambience of the room to take over.
Here is a small selection of my recordings past and present.
A Silent Collage (edit, original 14:37), Spring 2006
This is a track composed from three different locations, layered on top of each other. The first sound you hear is of some ducks and geese at the Serpentine Lake in Hyde park London. The next site has been recorded in my mother's garden in Farnham, Surrey the house is situated in a valley next to Alice Holt forest, the sound of the birds makes a rich tapestry of calls. Then the last sound, is of some large windchimes near a waterfall, which was recorded in the Japanese gardens in Newquay, Cornwall.
Outside Waiting Room (08:15),Spring 2006
Recorded at Farnham train station in March 2006, i missed my train to london and had to wait 10mins for the next one, this is what happened while i waited.
Abandoned Space #01 (07:43), May 2007
Found this location while having to park my car while i was waiting for a friend to call me, its some kind of industrial salvage ground completely deserted, opposite the river from the park in truro, where you can hear the sound of the cricket practise and a creaky gate being moved by the wind. i have no idea where the random whistler was and i cant remember it at the time.
