The tide is gradually coming in around Granite Island at 7am on a calm Saturday morning. I sit beneath the causeway that connects the island to the mainland and the small coastal town of Victor Harbor. In the distance I can hear the drone of the nearby urban landscape, which occasionally becomes indistinguishable from the distant swell of the ocean reverberating from Encounter Bay along the coast to Victor Harbor and beyond. Aside from the gentle lapping of the water and the sibilant crackle of seaweed, birds occasionally punctuate the tidal ambience along with a sole jogger who comes thundering overhead. His arrival coincides with a sudden swell of water and the loud chirp of a nearby bird. An unexpected, though appropriate harmony.

Tristan Louth-Robins is a South Australian artist working principally in the medium of sound art and field recording. Ideas of sound and its signification are key elements in Louth-Robins' practice, traversing the space between the visual and aural his work is realised through the mediums of recordings, installation, visual art and performance. He is interested in sound and its associative implications - including its relationship to objects, technology, urban space, memory and the natural world. 


Since 2005, Louth-Robins has presented work in Australia and internationally as a solo artist, whilst also collaborating with artists, writers, researchers, musicians and performers. 

Working across a vast array of activities encompassing composition, sound design, installation art, field recording and workshops, his work has been featured in events such as the Adelaide Festival of Arts (2006), The National Regional Arts Festival (2012), Mildura-Wentworth Arts Festival (2013), Fairfax Festival (2013) and Adelaide Fringe Festival (2014); and selected works exhibited at galleries including The Australian Experimental Art Foundation (2009), SASA Gallery (2012, 2015), Light Square Gallery (2012) and FELT Space (2015). His audio works have been broadcast on radio including Radio National, Classic FM, The BBC (UK), Acoustic Frontiers (USA) and RBB (Germany).
