From Sound Art to Radio Art to Multimedia
Much of my work relates to atmosphere - the direction of sound, light, shade at various times of day. This helps determine how one relates to a space/place.
I develop radio art shows and present them on various international radio channels. The overall themes are related to space, location and atmosphere. This takes the form of location recordings as well as radio transmissions and electromagnetic frequencies, etc. From this I use these recordings to edit and develop shows. The focus is often on ecological related themes - environment, climate, plants, wildlife, urban studies etc.
My sound work is phenomenological in nature - using sound to create a more abstract experience - rather than being easily identifiable or obvious. What I do is very much process driven relying as much on the journey as the outcome.
Along with the radio shows I also produce and release recordings on my record label - neonvox.
I also document the work using still and moving image and use these along with the sound work to develop mixed media art pieces.
My daily routine is to collect sound recordings from particular areas along with shooting moving and still images - and then assemble these post production in my studio. The soundscapes are the building blocks of my radio shows and the image work is incorporated into the multimedia pieces.
