John Hooper is a photographer and artist who started his career shooting for lifestyle magazines at the start of the millennium. John has  shot many intriguing artists, musicians and actors over the last 18 years  and his experience as a photographer and director of photography have led him to collaborate on projects and numerous commissions. From 2010’s commission for Its Nice That with Art and Grafts Michael Moloney exploring 24hrs above lake Windermere in the Lake District, to the Blue Dot commission this year exploring the passage of light from the sun. The highly polished commercial work John is involved with has led him to throw off the shackles of post production and create work in camera where the limits are collaborators on the final work. In 2014 John started Landsounds as a portal for his sound experiments from there he has been using sound for collaborative work with Louise Beer. In January of 2021 John completed a short course in Field Recording : Soundscape Composition to further aid his understanding of this subject.

With a focus on contemplative sound art practices, a noisy silence exists to help us listen more carefully to the world and to ourselves.

Since 2012, A Closer Listen has claimed a specialized niche in the music industry: instrumental album reviews!  By concentrating on this above all else (singles, videos, concerts, interviews, lyric albums, announcements), we’ve built a healthy fanbase and a strong reputation.

If music is recorded and nobody listens, does it still make a sound?
