Further to my March 2009 update, in formation on my seminar at PLASA Focus here

March 2009 Update

It’s been a busy year so far….

Current projects include Widowers Houses and Everyone Loves a Winner.

I’m also preparing for a weekend of Sound Design Workshops at the Lighting Institute in Prague and a presentation at PLASA North (date and time tbc) Most importantly work has started on The Prague Quadrennial 2011, which looks like being the best yet, further information as it arises! But do check out the PQ2011 website frequently, as it’s likely to be updated more often than this one currently is.

I’m also currently planning a large sound art installation, more news about this exciting project soon.

Finally, please do check out the website for another project I’m involved with World Stage Design 2009.

New Listen Hear Sound Projects Releases

New Releases!

New Listen Hear Sound Projects releases available.       Cambridge Road – written for a multimedia project examining the effect constant media references to terrorism have on ordinary, everyday family life. It was also part of the Sound Design exhibition at the 2007 Prague Quadrennial.    Lost At Sea – was commissioned by Dody Nash for her Listening Shell installation at the recent Collaborators: Design for Performance exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. All the sounds used in this piece were recorded on Brighton Beach, one Sunday afternoon in November 2007 and manipulated using various VST effects. A MySpace Favourite!   Fish (Like) Waveform – is simply an experiment in waveform shaping…using field recordings and music.             Check out http://listenhear.podbean.com/e-store/

April Update

I’ve now returned from the USA having enjoyed meeting some wonderfully creative and extremely receptive sound design students at Yale and Purdue Universities. I also (eventually) got to Houston where I took part in a panel discussion about sound at the 2007 Prague Quadrennial at the USITT Conference. I’ve now just started work on The Revenger’s Tragedy, directed by Jonathan Moore, which opens on May 28th.
