about

A foundsound radio play

Live composition for portable radios, FM transmitter, 4 corner speakers, found sound textures, & Shruti drone box

"Sound is all around us. An ethereal tapestry of invisible radio waves and sound pressure waves fills our world. Live in concert, Phoenix and Phaedra plays with our sense of place and scale, by using a surround sound speaker system in combination with a short range FM transmitter which broadcasts to a collection of hand held radios located within the audience. The concert is performed from the back of the space, out of sight, thus removing the spectacle of the performer, and leaving an empty stage for a pure sonic-cinema experience.

The composition weaves together foundsound textures, spatial sonorities, and the Shruti Box, an Indian drone instrument, which plays a central role in the work, with it's lulling and engulfing energies.

I wrote the work to celebrate the arrival of my new born son Phoenix, and is dedicated to him"

Loopholes
by Philip Jeck

Philip's RCA concert 1995 was inspiring and gave me ideas. I love how this album is completely unpredictable and very raw and sourced form phantom grooves and lots of lovely loops. Life long friend. Janek Schaefer

Stepping into the Dark
by Chris Watson

Chris spoke at the RCA event in 1995, of the magic in trying to capture the sound of a place, which as an architecure student was intriguing and informed my work since then. Janek Schaefer

I first saw Charlemagne play in a church in London around 1995. it was a night of an epiphany, and i love his spatial organ drone pieces, ... but 'Schlongo!!!daLUVdrone" album is my fav. Janek Schaefer
