"Soundpaths is a brand new smartphone app that allows you to get out and explore your local area in a completely different way – through music and sound. Designed for running or walking, Soundpaths will take the user on a journey through Moston and Harpurhey, accompanied by an original piece of music by composer/producer Yoni Collier which will reflect and celebrate the area, and its communities."

I composed a 1 minute soundscape using field recordings recorded around the Blue Bell pub in Moston combined with the audio of an old Facebook video that showed guests singing together, integrating this sonic memory into the present time. The piece was sent to Yoni Collier who will respond to it with his music creating the soundtrack to the app combining both local artists' soundscape compositions and his music.

I made my first official remix for the great German post-punk band Angst4 and their song ‘In Gefahr’. I dissected all their stems and transformed them into an electromagnetic whirlwind of gloomy dangerous sounds. Enjoy the trip. Headphones recommended.

Industries is an electronic music project by Markus Hetheier. His music explores and subverts musical structures and ranges from field recordings, distorted sounds to harmonic melodies and large beats. 

Together with Norrisette, he co-runs the queer electronica night FLUFF which recently received funding through Factory International’s Factory Sounds programme.

Besides being an electronic musician, he is also undertaking a practice-based PhD at the School of Digital Arts (SODA) investigating queer sonic geographies of Manchester.
