Working with a Watkins Copicat and an Akai reel-reel tape player, I have been creating audio loops from archive magnetic tape. The content of each tape is unknown prior to each performance beginning - some silent, others with the ghosts of music unheard for years. In each performance, my intent remains the same - a physcial interaction with the music, for the first time able to literally grab the music, playing out the sounds in my head as I drag, warp and distort the tape. I am looking for the appearance of anomalies - sounds that have sat inside the music for years - unknown and undiscovered before my interactions.
I am most interested in the fact that these processes are irreversible - though the sound plays over and over, the entropic cycles applied with each replaying slowly transforms the music into an entirely new form.

A piece composed for SOAP ART exhibition (March 2011). The exhibition brief was that each artist was allowed 1 TV and a pair of headphones. 

What I wanted to create was an environment in which your ears become your eyes. The colours on the backs of your eyelids - as you hold each sound in sight, synesthesia occurs.
