The Heart<\/strong><\/p>\n I propose a work in which specific locations (installations, architectural structures) are selected for a variety of reasons of interest, such as social, anthropological, historical, structural or conceptual. Next extensive recordings are carried out using a variety of microphones. From this working archive, edited selections will then be taken back to some or all of the original sounding spaces, to fresh locations where possible, then played back and re-recorded. The acoustic specificity of buildings and structures will be brought to the fore in an innovative fashion, enriching the listener\u2019s experience of recognizing architectural typologies. The specific sound environments of given built spaces created by the interaction between landscape, design, structure, material and use offer up a wealth of what have been referred to as materializing sound indices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n I am a freelance composer, sound artist, researcher and performer living in Southern Scotland. Currently I am working on three long term projects with a range of out comes from installation to live performance: a digital archive of sounds from the Scottish Borders; the production of new music using various combinations of field recordings, handmade acoustic and electronic instruments; a series of free improvisations for prepared nylon string guitar. My installation work focuses on conceptual sonic artwhich investigates close listening by means of multi-channel sound installation. I hold a Masters degree in French Studies and a PhD in electroacoustic music composition from the University of Aberdeen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> ARTISTIC WORKS<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>
