Current Projects
Forthcoming CD by Giancarlo Toniutti and James Wyness. Two electroacoustic
compositions stemming from the same sonic expedition as drookitarlùp.
Anticipated 2021.
In-progress - I'm working (slowly) on a new composition using the sounds of
frame drums activated by wire brushes, welding equipment, workshop
ventilation systems, small-town urban spatial dislocations and with the help
of small microphones used 'internally', the sounds of nasal breathing and
moist laryngeal gurglings.
An Atlas of Instabilities (with Giancarlo Toniutti). This book of dialogues
critically examines music and musical behaviour from the perspective of
various scientific, artistic and social disciplines. Anticipated 2021.
Arcadian Meadows, a performance and recording project
investigating ambient music for electric guitar, in particular Brian Eno's
original concept that the music should "accommodate many levels of
listening attention without enforcing one in particular; it must be as
ignorable as it is interesting." (Listen on Bandcamp)
the quiet project, (in-progress). This performance project stemmed
from my research into small instrument design and building in which the
music is unamplified yet quietly complex and differentiated. Performances
are site-specific - the portability of individual sound sources allows the
performer to take advantage of given architectural features.
