experimental audiovisual & systems art. resilience, autonomy, deep listening. 1/4 of @rm23-uk

Exploring the notion of context in electronic & electro-acoustic music. 
Curated by Angus Tarnawsky.

Despite his name, 10 bob popstar Steven Las Vegas comes from Dewsbury Moor, Yorkshire. 

His general panache, pizzaz and exquisite dress sense (his own words) are a sight rarely seen on Dewsbury Moor and earnt him the nickname Steven Las Vegas. This sorely highlighted the gulf between his Las Vegas residency ambitions and the mundane reality of being stricken by his small town ways and unshakeable strong Yorkshire accent, notwithstanding his impressive moustache. 

Remarkably, Steven Las Vegas has been played on BBC6 music by Tom Robinson who described him as ‘Blooming Daft’.

Stuart’s work is inspired by location and the people, experiences and objects he encounters there. 

He is particularly interested in sounds that are associated with place, overlooked and overheard noises of the everyday and highlighting the auditory as a defining factor in how we experience a particular environment. 
​
His recordings of people, their activities, experiences and environs have contributed to art installations, phone apps, archival records, dance performances, public consultation events, musical compositions, a computer game, a eulogy and sound tracks to short films.

Experimental, synth, noise, drone music and sound art made from my own instruments.
