Alternating Current: Sound Art Now - Sound Fjord at Dragonfly Festival Sweden

I have a Sound piece at this years Dragonfly Festival in Sweden!

The piece is called Little Death Dithyramb

Sound Fjord - Sonic Art

This year, SoundFjord, the UK's first sound art dedicated gallery, brings a fine collection of international sonic art to the Dragonfly cultural programme.

In the centre of idyllic surrounds your ears will deceive you. From the trees, tropical birds shall sing of their home in the Amazon, industrial clanks and groans will ripple across the lake whilst spectral voices will coo and woo us into their depths; doors will creak and slam where there are no openings, chinks of light will fall on pools of liquid ambience and abstract composition; muttering and laughing, preaching and monologues, will all mingle with the instruments on the main stage, and the music of nature itself.

Be sure to follow your ears to the SoundFjord Sound Art Tent, to be found in the open field between the Art Hut and the Bronze-Age Bar.

Juliet Gomperts Trust Award 2010

2 0 1 0

I am pleased to announce I have been selected as a very grateful recipient of the Juliet Gomperts Trust Award for 2010.

The Juliet Gomperts Trust is a small charity which gives financial support to artists who are resident in the UK. They judge on artistic merit: vision, imagination and skill and have been doing this for twenty one years.

This award will allow me to bring to fruition a number of larger pieces of art work over the coming year and to also exhibit these pieces further a field.

I would like to thank the Juliet Gomperts Trust for believing in my work and giving me this opportunity to make even greater pieces of work and allowing these ideas to finally escape the sketch book.
