The Inherent Dysfunctionality Of Modern Communication Systems

Some examples  of audio doodles, live recordings, mash ups and  original material working with local communities. Process above production. Promoting, health, well-being and experimentation. 
I recently recorded sessions of my own grief journey with  sound therapist  Clare Hunt. I  hope to use these as a starting point after much sadness and silence.  
Community groups I have worked  include young people from Roma Community, Throckley Elders, dementia friendly groups  and  young children. I enjoy creating low fi  live recordings. The central  Choir recordings were created with a women's group as part of the Digital Makings artists residency at Gateshead Council. The kit I use is "pop up" and a real mix of lo- fi and hi- fi.  Sessions are lighthearted, promote health and well being are fun and are a bit experimental with  sketchy recordings outcomes. "Respect the Streets" and "Our world  " was written with young people for the ROMA community and recorded a CHAT and North Benwell Youth Project. The production in these songs was a bit more polished.  The young people wrote, recorded original material in LOGIC. They also created visuals and compiled a video. The videos  promote messages on recycling and community pride. The young people continue to perform and spread message about recycling.

The superstitious concept of recognizing something as art lies in its nurturing by the public and culture. Non-public creativity is alive and difficult but pure. You will exist in your own light
Says the man with severed hands.
Here are some contempary impurities and public beliefs that can help define the concept of so called ‘art’ and making it but that can kill creativity : 
- Be famous
- You must be educated
- Work on your appearance
- Follow the famous examples
- You must be seen
- What does it yield financially?
- Using drugs

my head fulla straw
and my heart made of tin. . . .

thou art my god
and i am thy adam.
