Listen. Group Sound Art Exhibition
‘Listen’ exhibits the work of four artists’ exploration of sound. Comprised of sound and instructional-based artworks, the audience are invited to interact with the pieces by following the artists’ instructions. ‘Listen’ exhibits a variety of themes, ranging from spoken word and ambient sounds, to synaesthesia.
I will be exhibiting two new/work in progress pieces: an instructional site-specific tape loop and prepared turntable work.
26th – 28th April, 12.00pm – 16.30pm

Dream House 2017: The Balcony of the Best Exotic Geranium Hotel
Click to enlarge:
Dream House 2017 comprises of 22 wonderful miniature rooms specially created by Norfolk-based architects, artists, makers, students and school groups. These form part of the temporary exhibition Small Stories: At Home in a Dolls’ House currently on display at the Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery until 25 June 2017.
The Balcony of the Best Exotic Geranium Hotel is a collaboration between myself and artist Karl Foster, my contribution being sound-based and Karl the objects and surfaces inside the room. We created the room under the direction of Mark Smith, Leisure and Education Coordinator for The Norfolk and Norwich Association for the Blind (The NNAB). As Mark is blind, his Dream Room encourages visitors to engage through sound, touch and smell. A myriad of pleasing textures and objects are await those that navigate his room.
An audio description was carefully composed with Mark to provide navigation and an insightful account of his room; furthermore additional field recordings were subtly included to further enhance the viewer’s experience.
Come and experience the room for yourself!

Small Story Soundscape
Small Story Soundscape will be a fun and interactive drop-in session for families at the Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery, visitors will have the chance to explore the sound-making properties of everyday objects and toys! If experimenting with a matchbox paperclip microphone or making a din using a slinky spring or coat hanger is appealing, please come along!
This activity forms part of the Easter Holiday programme relating to the current temporary exhibition Small Stories: At Home in a Dolls’ House.

“Plastic Junk Warp” Experimental Lathe Cut Record
Only a handful of these highly experimental lathe cut records were pressed, consequently they sold out almost immediately. Don’t worry if you missed this one, the next batch is already being planned!
QCS_098 Zebra Mu “Plastic Junk Warp” 5″ s/sided rectangular recycled plastic lathe cut 33⅓ RPM (edition of 4)
Just over a minute of primitive junk metal bashing with a smattering of squealing electronics!
This lathe cut record is possibly the first of its kind: each copy is sourced from recycled plastic packaging commonly used for Christmas and greeting card multi-packs! As you would expect this is an highly experimental and (very) lo-fi record, comparable in sound quality to the picnic plate lathe cuts I’ve released in the past.
Every copy features B&W artwork printed onto silver paper, also included is a rubber-stamped sticker and B&W paper insert printed onto light grey paper.
SOLD OUT
