This month sees the opening of a new group exhibition exploring field recording based practice in the gallery space. Entitled Immersion, the show is curated by artist Scott Sherk and opens on December 16th at Soft Machine Gallery, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

I am exhibiting In A Shetland Landscape, a work that came out of a collaborative residency in the Shetland Isles with ceramic artist, Kay Aplin. The sound works are an ethnographic exploration of the landscape and culture of Shetland, recorded in binaural stereo, so best to listened to on headphones. It’s a piece of work I’m particularly proud of, an example of ‘pure’ phonography or field recording practice, in which the sounds have been subjected to minimal post-production or editing. The work was recorded in 2014-15 and was released as an album by Green Field Recordings in 2016 (GFR099) to coincide with an exhibition at Shetland Museum & Archives.
