English
Composer/non-composer, guitarist/non-guitarist, occasional pianist, sound recordist, multimedia artist, sound artist.
Born in Reading (UK), now residing in Melbourne.
First loves were the sonic experiments of the Beatles, the Velvet Underground and 70's reggae. He studied music and sound in Cardiff and London. Began early on to specialise in electroacoustics and interactivity, using the IRCAM signal processing workstation (ISPW) during postgraduate studies at the “Royal College of Music”.
Whilst at the RCM he began collaborating with saxophonist/composer Andy Visser on a series of works exploring notions of performance, including live appearances at the “Colourscape Festival” in Clapham, CADE 95 at Brighton University and the “South Bank Centre”, London. They were also involved in interactive cinema with Chris Hales of the “Royal College of Art”, resulting in showings in Cannes, Nagoya, Sheffield and London. The CD ROM “Twelve” (1994) is available from “Research Publishing”.
Soon afterwards he began to incorporate lo tech analogue approaches, developing the lo-fi sonic experiments of his youth. He has developed a unique practice drawing on a diverse range of sources, from 60's experimentalists Alvin Lucier and LaMonte Young through to dub pioneers King Tubby and Lee Perry.A common theme is the use of sound as conveyor of hidden worlds, exploring physiological and environmental processes through the creation of sensitised fields.
He is also a founder of the “Negative Records” record label, and keyboard/electronics player in “Venus Ray”. Their first LP “Chuck Berry vs IBM” was released in April 2001, with the second, “The World Woke Up Without Me”, out in Spring 2002, and a third in production for 2004. Also in production is a unique collaboration with legendary cosmonaut Yuri Romanenko, composer of the first songs ever to be written in space (during an extended stay on the MIR space station).
