Minimum Monument Video
In August 2014 I was commissioned by Birmingham Hippodrome to perform live alongside Néle Azevedo's installation of Minimum Monument, part of the City’s commemorations for the centenary of World War One. Néle’s work deliberately celebrates the common man; the exhibition honoured not only those who fought in WW1 but all those that contributed including families who made a sacrifice. You can read more about the project in my earlier post. Below is a short video documenting the creation and the event.

The Minimum Monument project is a critical reading of the monument in the [...]

It was an honour to perform at the inaugural festival alongside some fantastic composers including Francis Bayle, François Dhomont, Annette Vande Gorne, Jonty Harrison and Dennis Smalley. I performed a live acousmatics set with Iain Armstrong which James Carpenter diffused over the 50 loudspeaker acousmonium. [...]
