"Artists are like everybody else" - Damien Hirst

About Me

Hi, thanks for checking out my page. My name is Ben Harris, I hail from a not-especially-industrial area of the Midlands called Tamworth. I formed Rude Form early in 2007 which I started for my love for modern art & illustration, as well as a tribute to the artists who create it. You may of noticed that i've avoided typing in 3rd person as so many artists with pages do. I think its rather pretentious don't you?
Under the guise of Rude Form I try to make ambience and noise which I can (personally) attribute to my favorite pieces and installations. You may or may not agree with my intepretations but Rude Form is first and foremost a highly personal tribute and hobby anyway, so I can only hope you like what i've made.
I've attempted various styles of experimental music in this project. Including simplistic sample manipulated ambience, abstract representations of drum n' bass, hyperkitsch noise and even my strange attempts at remixing other artists work. I have released an album called Mouth Open, Teeth Showing... named after a sculpture by Zoe Leonard. Its a concept album about the ressurection of Andy Warhol, visions of a very alien Christ, and Damien Hirsts true shark-like form. You would like a copy please send me a message so I can send you my PayPal details.
