Colquhoun & McNeill’s practice has developed over nearly 20 years of collaboration, in which time it has embraced a variety of tactics and methodologies including: drawing, writing, video, performance and audio works. Most importantly, their work is informed and enriched by a shared obsession and engagement with the peripheral and marginal spaces of landscape. Accordingly, their walks within these spaces are amongst the most important, if not key, strategies they employ in terms of the experiential research and learning that informs their shared practice. The walks themselves are performative in that they are both movements through landscape and an attempt to engage with how and why they choose to do so. These spaces are often what can be described as ‘heterotopia’, places that are variously marginalised through where they are, or how they have been used in the past and in the present. They might be old industrial sites, railway land, scrubland, moorland, defunct business parks or bogland. These landscapes could be described as uncertain either/or sorts of places, undefined, shifting, uncontainable, even dangerous. Often they might be described as dull or boring and for that reason can remain opaque to the eyes of passersby. These places do not offer the usual menu of attractiveness such as charming country scenes, bucolic vistas, meandering paths or the epic sweep of mountain and valley. They are the obverse of a designated ‘area of outstanding natural beauty’ (AONB) and the cultural and political assumptions that underscore such places they are, if you will, the anti-sublime, the bastardised picturesque.

Spike Island is an international centre for the development of contemporary art and design.

Hagai is a sound artist, composer and musician and a founder member of the electronic band Rendezvous. Born in 1978, he's based in Israel.

His experimental work focuses on sounds we are exposed to every day in the public and domestic spheres, often in passing or involuntary.

Radio Concrete is a monthly experimental radio show, broadcasted at Resonance Extra (UK), Halas AM (ISR) and Radio Manobras (PT).

It's focus is on sounds which people are exposed to on a daily basis in a spontaneous and unplanned manner; from the immediate surroundings, the street and the radio.

Fresh raw materials including field recordings of our everyday routine, samples from tv & radio, news editions and advertisements are all gathered on a regular basis and then mixed together with live sources (FM and AM stations and other live online streaming sources) and objects (such as amplified/hacked toys).

Recorded sounds, sonic journalism, audio depths, synths, downbeat music and noise in the 21st Century from the depths of Central Belt Scotland

An ongoing electro-acoustic project beginning in 2009

We are an online community radio streaming 24/7 from a wooden shack in the heart of Brussels’ historic “Parc Royal”.

A meeting point for music freaks from Brussels and beyond. A tiny kiosk bar serving eclectic music and drinks. Sometimes, in sunny summer days, a safe space to dance under the trees.
