Music For The Williamson Tunnels: A Collection Of The Sound Of Dripping Water
As Brian Eno made music for environments rather than from them (Music For Airports) these CDs are best listened to within the strange damp world of the Williamson Tunnels in Liverpool. The ceilings of these caverns are thin and the sound of dripping water can frequently be heard, but not necessarily seen.

Field recordings collected in India and mixed upon my return.
My practise shifts between processes and methodologies of capturing and composition that arise from my relationship to the immediate environment and our experience of place and memory through sound.
The microphone as my tool, acts as a sonic barometer, to record the aural world from the peripheral edges to the core of the acoustic environment.
Through creating images for the ear, I will focus on the mysterious qualities of human communication, the questions raised by the linguistic confrontations that occur within the public spaces of social architecture, and the power of human communication represented by the voice taken out of its visual context.
