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.

Tell Me Tonight

Tell me Tonight – A collaboration between Steven Brown and Nicola Field/Steam Control. This piece was part of ‘Why Won’t You Tell Me?’ which was recently presented at the X08 Festival at the BFI.

The usual internet compression….but it can be viewed here
