Live performance of The Invisible Hand at CCA Glasgow 09/05/2024 as part of Cryptic Nights.

A 17 minute sound art performance using eight looper pedals and sound sculptures made from litter and found objects. No effects were used, instead the inherent resonance of the objects was allowed to speak. The objects were played using feathers, animal bones and broken piano parts. The sound was captured using contact mics.

The Invisible Hand is a metaphor used by Adam Smith to extol the unintentional virtues of capitalism. That idea is turned on it’s head to refer to capitalism's toxic over-production and waste. The title also relates to the use of looper pedals.

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. ~ Aldous Huxley

All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it. ~ Jean Cocteau

All music is beautiful. ~ Billy Strayhorn

I've become addicted to drone. Again. I was the kid with his head on the piano, listening to the overtones die away, or pressing his ear to the steel hull of the ferry, enthralled by the sounds it created. I was the kid who formed wordless songs to accompany the sound of train wheels on a long journey, or hummed along with the fan on a hot day.

In the 60s I used to play my 45s on 16, or backwards, or by hand using razor blades as stylii.

I made cut-up tapes on a cheap cassette recorder in the 70s and experimented with reel-to-reel in the 80s.

I am not a musician. I am a scavenger of sounds. I use the most basic software to process those sounds, stretching and filtering until something emerges that makes a joyful noise. Or not...
