Blue Noise is a two-part work, one visual and one aural, meant to be experienced as one. It approaches the subject of synaesthesia, the cross over of the senses within the brain. In this instance the melding together of sight and hearing. Synaesthesia has been a long-standing fascination within my work.

Noise has its different ‘colours’, white, pink, red, blue etc. Each named after the colour it most closely resembles in wavelength in the colour spectrum. It is this relationship that inspired this work.

The sound in this work is made entirely from one sample of blue noise. Both the painting and sound were developed in tandem, creating a bond between them within the creative process. The painting was influenced by the experience of noise and the sound influenced by the action of painting.

Blue Noise

Sonic Dreams was born out of an increasing fascination with the relationship between sound and the space in which it exists, be it in the material world or that of dreams. The installation completed in 2006 used sound within the interior of a structure, in a pitch-black environment. Using multiple speakers and a dynamic soundscape the sound sought to alter the perception of space.

Sonic Dreams (Headphone Simulation)

Infiltration is mediation between the role of man-made sounds, and the imposition of such sounds, on the existing environment. Initially conceived as an installation in 2007, Infiltration was developed from a series of walking and listening exercises through the modern environment. Using a stereo set up the work imposed itself upon the already existing environment, focusing our attention on the formidable impact of modern technological sounds.

Contact mic recording from the  The Structural Sound Project London. Set up by artist Florian Tuercke and hosted by Arebyte Gallery in Hackney Wick. The project involves distributing the highest density of public microphones in a given area. In this case Contact Microphones which allow you to listen to vibrations travelling through solid objects. An incredible project and a chance to aurally connect to architecture and the urban environment.

Free for creative use. Just get in touch.

Layered and connected. Moment after moment after moment. Twists and turns.
How do we look back? How do we listen to the past? How can we visualise these moments?

Three audio works from the last 4 years, layered and presented as a collected snapshot of creative history as if looking and listening through a cross section of creative strata. Instances merge and history is presented. We embark on new perceptions of previous creative energies establishing links hitherto unknown.
