An Ode to Cliché - Collaboration with Brothers Pleasant

An Ode to Cliché – Collaboration with Brothers Pleasant

This is a Brothers Pleasant film starring Mr Jon Paul Mitchell. It was filmed over the course of one night with a Braun Nizo S 800 on Kodak Tri-X Super 8. I had the pleasure of creating the score for this short piece. I took a completely improvised approach, in an attempt to discover how I could apply my turntable explorations to film.

This Dystopic Dissonance @ Chapter 6

I will be playing at Chapter 6 Studios next week. It will be my first solo set with turntable, so I’m having to rework my sound palette and approach to playing. Looking forward to it!

Words Passing Through Us @ Singapore Art Museum

Words Passing Through Us @ Singapore Art Museum

Zai Kuning and myself will be ‘performing’ together at Singapore Art Museum, 18th March 2011. We have been collaborating over the last two years, exploring boundaries between music, sound and performance – both successful and unsuccessfully! We aim to enter an engaging dialogue with the audience through actions, gestures and sound, and draw in to question whether having these boundaries and categorisations are necessary, or if in fact they limit our understand of how we perceive a work – both as ‘artists’ and as ‘audience’.

Pulau Ubin Artist Residency, Singapore

Pulau Ubin Artist Residency, Singapore

At the beginning of March 2011 I undertook a short artist residency on Pulau Ubin, Singapore. During my stay I explored various routes around the island on foot, listening to and documenting the abundance of natural sounds I encountered en route. I will be developing a series of work stemming from my experiences and sound recordings over the coming months – watch this space!
